Business Outlook
Pros
Good medical benefits, flexible working hours, long vacations, global footprint. Quintiles offer great job security because they try not to lay off people unless absolutely necessary, and if a unit has to be closed down, they try to move people within the organization
Cons
Constant changes, lack of management's involvement in employees' welfare. The company is very cost-driven, and with the recent IPO status, cost cutting is almost everywhere, from the human resources to printing supplies. Management likes to encourage employees by saying that Quintiles is the best in the field, and that there is nowhere else better to go, in a bid to try and keep talents, without much concrete information or plans.
