Great place if you like impossible goals
Field Tester (Current Employee) - Yorkshire - 5 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI have been with the company for several months . I am now leaving due to the lack of support and unobtainable goals set by the company. Lots of effort made in my behalf to get nothing back. The management seem to only get in touch if there is an issue.

Micro management

Management is not efficient could have been better training. Supportive management and better work culture. People haven't got a chance to learn properly and were given lots of sites to work on
Pros

Cons
Management is not good

Easy place to work
COVID infection Study Associate (Former Employee) - Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear - 7 April 2022
Work was easy nice breaks and lunches. Was a remote job. You could be doing so many different things in such a short space of time. Manager was good. The people who did the training were pretty good. Overall a nice place to work.

The culture of blame
Field tester (Former Employee) - Yorkshire - 26 March 2022
This company are very good at blaming their staff and enforcing new working conditions with no notice. Appalling company and shocking IT systems. Management are unprofessional and are basically messengers for the company. IQVIA is the worst company I have ever worked for and I will never work for them again.
Pros
N/a
Cons
Poor IT, unrealistic expectations, bad management

Stressful, no interest in staff.
Field Worker (Data Collection) (Former Employee) - Exeter - 9 March 2022
I worked on the COVID-19 infection survey. Management was really poor, and there was no thought for how decisions effected staff. There was rarely any discussion about what the staff needed, it was a top down way of making decisions which was both stressful and impractical. Our continued employment was always threatened when figures fell, and the expectations were unrealistic.
Pros
Remote
Cons
No work life balance

Field Healthcare Worker (Current Employee) - Dundee - 14 February 2022

Unfortunately a stressful work environment, constantly pressured to hit targets.
COVID 19 Tester (Current Employee) - Derby - 1 February 2022
Unfortunately you are not looked after as a employee, this company only cares about hitting targets. Some of the managers and above have zero social skills. There is a high turnover of staff due to the constant pressure out on you to hit your targets. You loose your job even if customers are not available, you get the blame. You also have to drive out of your area up to 100 miles a day if not more. Tiring and stressful, you can’t take holidays when you want to. Terrible place to work.
Pros
You can claim mileage however they make it difficult for you to do that.
Cons
Serious long unrealistic hours, target orientated, The company does not care about the employees, just about how much money they can make, . Depressive, place to work.

A regressive working practise
Covid-19 Tester (Current Employee) - Greater London - 21 September 2021
Experience from being "in the field" only. Dictatorial and unsupportive. The job itself is OK and pleasant enough, it's just how it's managed. Plenty of opportunities to do compulsory tasks without pay as you only get paid for the days you're on the road at a flat daily rate, which in itself is not a bad rate, but it can mean that you never get a whole day or 2 days off together without having to do some sort of admin or delivery. Different agencies paying different rates & mileage for the exact same job. You get trained but the delivery of the training is awful and certainly appears not created by anyone who has actually done the job.
Pros
You meet some interesting participants and you get reimbursement for parking & tolls, you kind of get to plan your own day
Cons
Long hours, all weathers, lack of respect from management, not paid for all compulsory tasks, isolating

Target driven
Study Worker (Current Employee) - Remote - 26 August 2021
There is no such thing as a typical day, you call participants who have varying requirements and you prepare your kit and visit them at their home. Management are very rarely contactable. Very pressurised environment. The hardest part of the job is managing to get visits and you are penalised if you do not achieve targets through no fault of your own. The most enjoyable part of the job is driving around and meeting people.
Pros
Able to structure your own working day. Enjoyable work.
Cons
Pressurised environment, unachievable targets, goal posts constantly moving. Expenses almost impossible to claim, too many systems that do not work efficiently together.

Good company to work for
Healthcare Field Worker (Current Employee) - Cambridgeshire - 19 July 2021
The role I do is interesting, there are many changes as it is a study re; Covid-19. The management are excellent and will support you through all the changes and needs of the study and will help you with career development. If you like working flexible hours this is the job for you although there will be evening and weekend work.
Pros
Supportive teams and management
Cons
Some unsociable hours

poor
Study Worker (Current Employee) - London - 15 July 2021
Staff not kept safe while out on the road. You have to work out of your car. Each manager can do what they like. And they change conditions and told by management that if you don't like it move on. Others get paid more to do the same job.
Pros
work from home
Cons
poor pay - not kept safe while working - poor management
