Pros

Unlimited career options and good growth potential in most areas, you learn a ton, they are a strong leader in most areas they conduct research in, especially clinical trial and real world evidence studies.

Cons

Benefits and culture on a serious downhill slide since merger with IMS (from legacy Q perspective). Different areas of the company that overlap in services compete with each other rather than collaborate and this seems to be encouraged. All male leaders (very rare exceptions) at the top in an organization that is probably more than half female in ranks. Respect for medical and scientific expertise over selling data has slipped.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
