Evidera Reviews

The reputation of Evidera is strong in Modelling and Patient-Reported Outcome but it is not established yet in Market Access Consulting. While Evidera overall is a quite diverse company, at the Value and Access Consulting department I found little diversity in the Senior Leadership team. White/British/Male is the common denominator of the Senior Leadership team and if you are a non-native English speaker you have few chances to get there… The team is not inclusive, I found smart colleagues but not friendly at all. Despite the official claims, work-life balance is far from ideal, you should expect to work long hours (often during evenings and sometimes at the weekend). Employees trying to reach their utilization targets will have to work overtime. Senior Leadership does not care much about the employees but more about profit margin and the clients. When you join the company, you need to be careful and do whatever is possible to please the senior staff, since they have a big influence on your performance review and your career progress. There is a poor culture of feedback, Senior Leadership can provide negative feedback about your performance without giving you any direct feedback. You might end up knowing that your performance in a project was negative a few months after the fact, receiving vague second-hand information… The integration of Evidera with PPD caused some discontent in the team because of new processes and more complexity. There are few external training opportunities. Most of the training is provided in house.

- Toxic environment - Zero work-life balance - Long working hours including weekends and sometimes during paid time off (2am analysis or report writing - tick) - Complete lack of consistency with salaries and promotion process - be prepared to work harder than your peers who are earning 10-15k more than you despite being at the same level (just because they held management to ransom and demanded a pay increase; individuals would regularly mention offers from other companies despite not having applied elsewhere...) - Terrible managers lacking basic training and communication skills - Lots of people in the organisation who 'talk the talk' - Zero recognition (managers will regularly rope junior staff into non-billable project work despite junior staff having unachievable targets to then claim the work as their own in senior management meetings so they can be titled "subject matter expert") - Poor communication from management and senior leaders
