Company websites can tell you a lot—but let’s be honest, the real story lives beyond the bullet points. If you want to know what it’s really like to work at IQVIA, you ask the people who live it every day. Here’s what our colleagues have to say:
On the fit
“To be successful at IQVIA, you need to be a go-getter,” said Dana Joyner, director of Business Operations and Capabilities. “Someone who can think critically, be willing to learn and adapt to new technologies. You also need to be able to communicate change effectively and have difficult conversations. But for me, my favorite part about working at IQVIA is the people.”
On the opportunities for growth
“I was always interested in learning about clinical trial management and raised my hand to get involved in tasks that would give me experience and opportunities to develop new skills in that area,” said Lucia Rodriguez, senior clinical project manager. “Having an open dialogue with my line manager to share my career goals is what helped me make the move from a CRA to clinical project manager.”
On working in a dynamic global team
“Each project is unique, and the learning curve is steep,” said Paige Kim, associate director of Business Development. “The energy that comes from working with multi-disciplinary, global teams and the support we provide each other is what keeps me motivated. The positive vibe within the team is really the driving force that propels us towards our shared goals.”
On the culture
“I joined as a clinical trial associate, and from the very first day I noticed how supportive and friendly the office environment was,” said Michelle Qiu, senior clinical research associate. “I knew right away this was going to be a really good company to work for. Everything I heard from my peers was so positive about IQVIA.”
