Pros

Option to work from home, work remote within India

Cons

I work with the Public Health team of IQVIA and this has been the experience for most of us here. Toxic work culture with unsaid expectation from employees to work long hours and on the weekends. Employees who do not work long hours, and are available at all times including weekends are given a low rating which leads to quite firing (little or no salary increase, keeping employee out of loop, increased workload). If you ask for leave your workload will be increased drastically that will make you question why did I even apply for leave or asked to compensate hours that you are taking leave for (leave is very much part of employee right!). They do not give you any training and expect top quality deliverables. When you ask for mentoring/training the answer is google it. This toxic work culture forces employees to resign. Save yourself from this toxic work culture and do not join. Don't expect high salary for the amount of workload expected from you. Pay is below market!! I highly suggest you connect with a former employee who worked in this practice irrespective of geography. Attrition rate is very high which obviously speaks of the culture and why people leave within months of joining. Middle East and Africa, India, South East Asia, Asia Pacific - all have Public Health practice and unfortunately the culture remains same: TOXIC

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
