IQVIA is a product based company.So, if you are into supporting any IQVIA products then your knowledge will be limited to that specific product only and the technology being used in that product. *Very less new projects are coming.

Dislikes

Too many parties, no increment in salary but Team Lunch, Quiz occassions, this celebration that celebration always happening. Leaders inside IQVIA projects speak like: We always hire the most useless people for our projects (extremely weird) Rude people are awarded and promoted, not the skilled ones in coding or work No ethical practices, the Non-retaliation policy is only for showoff Lot of threatening and dominating goes on inside the organisation which is very strange, HR refuses to clarify stuff. During a conflict, somehow the manager's words are taken as correct no matter what. There's no investigation or anything 👍🏻 Not a good company to invest, company in DEBT in 2024, all details about debt conditions of IQVIA mentioned in Google. Be careful while making decisions about joining or investing in this company!
