INC Research Employer Reviews

A poorly managed company that values quantity vs. quality, INC Research perpetuates the stereotypical CRO reputation for overworking employees trying to maximize billable hours yet minimizing work/life balance. Resourcing allocations are woefully out of touch with reality. In multiple situations the company (via both Legal and HR) showed a complete – more... lack concern for employees' well-being. The project I worked on consciously and purposefully mislead the sponsor despite vocal opposition. Advancement is extremely difficult. I've witnessed promotion paperwork sitting with next level management for weeks/months on end with no action despite repeated follow-up. Both projects and departments lack vision and practical experience. Unfortunately I left with a rancid taste in my mouth regarding this company. – less

I enjoy working at INC. I would refer anyone to work there. At INC you can feel like you're apart of a family. Management is there to help and answer any questions you may have.

If this company was still here I would be probably be still working there.

INC Research is a competative CRO company whose main focus is company growth and development. Their initial orientation and company training for new hires is commendable.

I I worked at INC Research in the clinical programming (database build) department in Raleigh NC. My suggestion would be to say away. The mid level management and directors do not stick up for you. There were so many occasions where the group manager openly blamed the associate director or director for her own mistakes. Also, the director and associate – more... director fought in front of us just to win over the other and did not care about what is right for the team or project.

There is completely no work life balance. I can see working overtime once in a while but this happened sometimes continuously for weeks together.

Also there are lay-offs quite often and the 2 promotions that happened while I was there were completely biased. The director even went on to say that the person who got promoted may not have deserved it but he/she needed it as they needed the money! so unprofessional.

My advice: Horrible place. Stay away (unless things have changed recently). – less

INC is growing and has alot of potential, but they are not really close to their competitors yet regarding compensation and processess. When I left they were beginning to gradually change to become more competitive, but had a good ways to go. There needs to be a shift in some of the management. as it appears there were people promoted to these positions – more... that were good at their previous job, but not really great when it comes to managing others. I believe they are heading in the right direction. The work is quite boring and redundant, but that is just the nature of the job. – less

Awful company that appreciates nothing and does nothing for the reliable employees. Finance and corporate is a joke as anybody who ever was anybody is gone because they ran them off because they were threatened by their knowledge leadership.

Senior leader will change course due to some emergency
You will work 14 hours
You will not be appreciated

MOST important you will not get repaid for expenses.. the finance team is so bad they cant pay within a month so your credit rating takes a hit...

Complain to boss and they say suck it up... went to Quintiles got better bonus, pay and no up front – more... money

Stay away – less

Finance is never a place you expect to see the politics that is happening here. It starts with the leader who is a fat disheveled mess that gets in the middle of things and lies to peoples faces.

If you work here RUN, I moved on and am much happier

If you DONT work here stay away. All the senior managers are fighting and turnover is at an all time – more... high as people like a CFO with no integrity take the lead. – less

I have no negative comments at all. I was only there for three months, so I did not really get to know the people or the company that well.

Working for INC Research has taught me a few very important life lessons. The first of which being not to let people take advantage of you. This company had a tendancy to make you think promotions were on the way when they were not. I loved my co-workers and the projects and teams that I worked on. However, I belive a restructure of management would – more... be helpful to the future of this company. – less

I was only there for 3 months, I had a not so good experience while I was here due to a change in management, and was laid off along with 13 others to change staff along with new management. I had never experienced that before. Iam hoping that it is different now with new management with new a whole new set of employee values.

A very good company to work for with many job opportunities in different areas. Great benefits.

INC Research ( formerly) Kendle International was a good place
to work. I have establish some lasting frienships that I will always cherish.

INC is a CRO, which is a MNC its provide better atmosphere for work and fun with salary satisfaction.

I worked for this company for over 1.5 year. I enjoyed my team at the time and friendly atmosphere; however there were no support from the management, constant presser and demand that you are not doing enough. In addition there is very unfair work distribution in place. I had an incident with my manager and have to go through HR to have this sorted – more... as there was no support. There are no bonuses or appreciation structure.

I moved to competitive and feel very happy now. – less

.LMY TYPICAL DAY WAS TO MAINTAIN A HIGH STANDARD OF EFFICIENCY AT RECEPTION. I WORKED FOR 11 YEARS WITH THIS COMPANY, WHERE I LEARNED TO PRIORITISE MY WORKLOAD, DUE TO THE VOLUME OF EORK THAT WAS DONE AT RECEPTION. I MAINLY WORKED ON MY OWN, BUT HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM. THE HARDEST PART OF MT JOB WAS THE TRANSPORT TO AND FROM GLASGOW. – more... MY MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE JOB WAS MY ROLE AT RECEPTION AND THE PEOPLE I WORKED WITH. – less

I have learned many things in this organization but still INC need to evolve in term of having streamlined their processes. For every single process there are lots of loopholes in their system.

It was a good experience to learn about the Clinical Research industry. Great learn from and the seniors were really good at giving direction.management level are nice and caring about employees. providing good training . flexible hours. learned a lot from work. good place to work.

Company name is fantastic for resume when applying elsewhere.Used to be a great place to learn, have fun at work and make a career out of it. – less

Dynamiek en afwisseling typeren de dag. Kennis opgedaan over buitenlandse regelgeving. Omdat het een internationaal beursgenoteerd bedrijf is wordt je geconfronteerd met strakke deadlines en strenge controles. De betrokken directie en gezellige collega's maken het werk weer gezellig.
