Pros

Broad array project experiences with contract clinical research, methodology, equipment, and documentation. Exposure to lots of new methodologies and equipment. People in the lab and project working teams are knowledgeable and supportive. Network internally and externally if you are involved with client facing projects. Good place to get loads of experience post college.

Cons

Beware on reviews and job postings. Jobs are often advertised under IQVIA but in reality you work in Q2 solutions. Lower than average pay, benefits, bonuses. No to little work life balance. You will put in way more than 40 hrs a week. Super high turnover rates 30%-40% depending on department/working group. Vacation is treated as a gift or a "extra" bonus. Which means they will guilt you about not living up to your pay grade or title if you actually try to take vacation or balance working hours. When you do take vacation you'll still likey have to work. When you come back they will expect even more hours out of you to make up for it. They will try to goat you into even more hours and work with extra vacation time, bonus, or promotion that never actually happen. Management is complacent with poor work life balance and low pay. Profit at the expense of workers lives.
