Pros

There are some great people doing the work in laboratories and cubicles. The science can be wonderful.

Cons

Management treats employees as the enemy. HR stabs workers in the back. Benefits are abysmal. The better you are, the more they will squeeze every cent of value out of you, until you are empty.

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.

Pros

There are some nice local co-workers

Cons

Having worked at a few companies in this industry it is shocking how awful things are at Q2. Leadership burries their head in the sand when issues are pointed out, then blames its employees when it can no longer be ignored. From nepotism at the highest levels to sheer neglect and incompetence towards daily processes, the frustration employees face is endless. There is no clear direction if you are new and no support if you are seasoned. You will be stressed, you will be overwhelmed, and if you try and work to improve things you will be ignored or worse.
