Warning: Don’t Join IQVIA – A Shocking Layoff Experience To anyone considering IQVIA – please reconsider. If you have other offers, take them. I recently heard from a friend who was laid off at IQVIA, and it’s beyond shocking. Yesterday, the entire team was laid off over a call, with zero warning. HR and senior management gave an ultimatum: resign voluntarily, or be laid off with feedback. Imagine the helplessness of employees forced to submit resignations on the spot. More in comments....

The audacity of HR and management is appalling. While they continue to hire freshers, they’re laying off seasoned employees with 5-10 years of experience. This speaks volumes about the incompetence of IQVIA’s senior management.

Adding to the misery, employees were working 12-14 hour days, including Saturdays, for the past 6 months to a year, just to meet quotas. After all that hard work, many were placed on an improvement program a month ago, only to be laid off soon after.

The most painful part was hearing veteran employees, some with over a decade of service, crying on the call, unsure how they’d survive in today’s inflated economy. HR’s cold response was, “Don’t ask why you are being laid off or what you did wrong.” They shut down the team, cut off access, and forced voluntary resignation.

This company clearly has no respect for its employees. If you’re thinking of joining IQVIA, think again. No job is worth the emotional toll and insecurity this company offers.
