Not the same company as it was 3+ years ago - Anonymous employee IQVIA Employee Review

Quintiles is constantly in change mode and our staff are exhausted. The changes are not always improvements and often result in less efficient processes. The executive leadership changes in the past year were especially damaging to Quintiles. Our employees have little confidence in the current leadership team and are still mourning the loss of some very strong and well respected leaders who have moved on to competing CROs. It seems like the decisions regarding leadership were based on politics and personal relationships and this is obvious to our employees. At Quintiles, you need to make friends with the right individuals in order to thrive. Don't expect recognition for doing your job well - you must "manage up" to do well in this company. HR function is too powerful, making operational decisions (promos, raises, punitive actions) over the opinions of the actual supervisors. These HR decisions are often driven by the personal biases of HR leadership, as opposed to evidence and fact.
