Pros
They have the data, that's why they are still surviving
Cons
If you're in pharmaceuticals and in need of data, your ONLY option is to purchase IQVIA's raw data and handle the analytics in-house. Be cautious when relying on their in-house models or analytics; these are often subject to manipulation through methods they describe as "smoothing" or "imputation," essentially compromising the data's statistical validity. While IQVIA does have an abundant supply of valuable data, their capacity for sound analysis is questionable at best. A significant portion of their managerial staff has limited understanding of statistical principles, yet they don't hesitate to adjust data to align with preconceived "expected outcomes." If clients were privy to these flawed practices, they would most likely disregard the end product. (Although, if you're simply seeking validation for your preferred results, IQVIA is excellent at creating those illusions). Employees holding advanced degrees are regularly sidelined, with advancement opportunities primarily reserved for those who can persuasively present flawed data to both clients and senior management.
