Pros

The only pro: ability to work from home in some departments

Cons

This company is a very difficult place to work at. The computers crashed often, excel did not speak to other versions of excel across the company. Senior leaders were very hostile and nasty. There were senior leaders that were allowed to tell employees that no one liked them and they knew more than they did. Other senior leaders would make business decisions and not take accountability later. HR is a joke. There is no work life balance. People can work from home, but the perception is they don't work. Presidents and CFOs at corporate have turned over at least 3 times in one year. Legacy senior leaders are ineffective and nasty.

Great management, managers do a great job of being a liaison between you and the contract company

Cons

Contract company can decide at any time to end a contract, but Inventiv does a great job of helping employees find places in other contract.

Pros

I've been an inventive employee for 15+ years and have experienced the highs and lows of this company. I've personally witnessed this company evolve from a traditional CSO ("Contract Sales Organization") specializing in sales teams to fully diverse global organization that providing support and solutions to the Pharma & Biotech industry. By being involved in all aspects of a product's life cycle, there are opportunities for those interested in either Clinical or Commercial (i.e. sales/sales support) opportunities. As many Pharma organizations outsource many areas of their organization, inVentiv is positioned to meet this growing trend in the industry.

Cons

In this organization, many are tasked with supporting multiple clients which can be overwhelming to those not experienced in a dynamic environment. Sometimes management is slow to recognize additional support may be needed. Hiring more "chiefs" is not the answer and can take opportunities away from others.
