Ok place to work
Line Manager (Former Employee), Durham, NC – May 20, 2013
Pros: fair benefit package
Cons: work-life balance depends on the group you work in.
New management does not always receive coaching deserved or needed, so this makes it difficult to get appropriate guidance as a direct report.

Great Benefits, poor management.
Risk Specialist (Former Employee), Durham, NC – May 1, 2013
Pros: benefits are very good
Cons: management can't vocus on what they want done, they were moving too fast and overlooking the obvious.
Was hired for new position.
Manager had vague idea of what my position would entail.
When given assignements, they were not clear and manager failed to fully explain what she wanted done.
Actually repremanded for doing too much due to lack of communication.
Told things moved fast with company but not provided with proper expectations.

Great Place to start a sales career
Territory Sales Representative (Former Employee), East Saint Louis, IL – April 1, 2013
Good place to begin your job or if you enjoy the flexibility of continuously changing jobs managers and territories. It takes a person that craves change and to a certain extent instability. Overall the compensation pack and management teams made up for the security issues.

Clinical Trial Assistant (Current Employee), San Diego, CA – January 8, 2013
Pros: great coworkers, great benefits, high emphasis on work/life balance, supervisors who care about your well being and advancement
Cons: pretty insignificant hourly wage, difficult advancement to cra
I love working at Quintiles. The people here are amazing and I think really what have made my experience so great. I think the direct supervisors are really great at what they do. They are incredibly vested in our advancement and our well being. Great community here and people listen if you ask for additional work/responsibilities, or if you are overworked. – more... I like working directly with site and with the Sponsor. It's great to hear positiive feedback, not only from my supervisors at Quintiles, but also hearing that you made the clients happy. I've learned a great deal about clinical trials from start to finish. Before Quintiles, I didn't have such high understanding of study start-up, regulatory documents and Good Clinical Practice. – less

very supportive environment
Sr. Clinical Trials Assistant (Former Employee), Durham, MC – January 4, 2013
Pros: on site cafeteria, close to home and airport
Cons: disrespecting coworkers should not be tolerated
Management was typically supportive of individuals. I did not particularly care for the day to day dynamics or the individuals not on my team. I don't like gossipy environments. Not enough access to people with more experience. Quality of work suffers due to this.
