Pros

Quintiles offers reasonable wages and benefits. Unequaled opportunities to work on a lot of projects, build experience and learn from some very talented people.

Cons

Quintiles is run like a cross between a modern company, medieval court and family owned corner shop. Much of the true decision making is made by a cabal of long term senior managers (tenure over talent) who only work together when an outsider is employed who is seen to threaten their existence by being competent. Formal training was poor

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
