Pros

Ability to work remotely. Salary. Good air conditioning in the office...?

Cons

Inept leadership, ACOE in particular. Stay far away from this group. Lack of meaningful work. If you like building spreadsheet calculators/crud apps, IQVIA is your company. Terrible culture of politics, depressing energy abound, lack of communication, low-EQ employees, uninspiring & meaningless work. 45 MINUTE LONG STANDUPS. "We use X here because that's how it's been done in the past" Giant corporate culture of cubes, water-cooler smalltalk, apathetic employees, and a severe lack of interesting people that you'll be working with on a daily basis. Need to login to web system to reserve a desk every day that you come into the office. Bureaucracy, constraints on developers, github blocked on the corporate network, outsourced work.

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.
