ive noticed a very worrying trend over the last 2 years that q is letting staff with tangible drug development knowledge or sponsor experience leave the organization. So of this is elective but a lot is forced. Does TP really beleive he can maintain a dominate position in the marketplace with just Accenture clones and other CRO execs. If so, he really is believing the his own (and the EC's) hype. With the significant changes happening across life science and healthcare he must be naive to think q can differentiate without rich /deep scientific and domain skill ...... Unfortunately the current leadership and bench are inadequate and arguably incompetent. TP if you read this..... Please throw out your dinner plate strategy and reinvest in science and drug development skills across the organization, not just move ineffective roles offshore and promote non-Pharma people who will destroy q.

Business leaders who adopt the attitude that anyone is replaceable, thinking they can simply hire someone with a greater skillset or someone with a more prestigious pedigree, are fooling themselves. When a company has a truly great employee, that employee carries value that simply cannot be replaced. They have extensive product, systems, and process knowledge. Many hold client relationships that have been built over many years. And great employees have camaraderie and influence with their coworkers, which when lost, has an impact on the corporate culture

What was left of the culture years back is gone. At least where I sit. And the not so subtle veiled threats by AM have people scared to comment here. But the bonus is still good so I will take it at least for another year or two.

Just don't post from within Q and your fine. Use a home computer and there is nothing that AM can do about it

Dont be so sure your bonus will be there. My mgr told me required number of 1's/2's continue to rise and forced distribution may still be around. If youre not in the club, you may find yourself a 2
 









Yes forced distribution was in place and AMs direct reports and their direct reports who are in the club got the fives. He really only cares about hitting his distribution though, people are interchangeable pegs.

AM is one of the worst things to happen Q in a long time but it doesn't look like TP realizes the damage he is doing. AM is running the GM playbook around infrastructure (granted it needed to addressed after JD). But RT knows that infrastructure is now commoditized and the invest reduced or outsourced enmasse. Instead AM is redirecting investments away from business improvements that could help core Q into IT for the sake of IT. TP and RT, please bring in exec/strategy advisors to provide direction before that shareholders start asking where the "size-able" is really going ....... Remember TP you pitched Q IT as growth differentiator when you floated and it's gone backwards since then !!!!

Problem is he not only lies to us but to our vendor partners as well. I had an account rep we work with recently tell me that AM lied to their face. Compltely wasted the vendor's time and told them they had a chance for work when he was using them as a dark horse. What an embarrassment to be associated with him. Yes bring in some adults that can help clean this up.

He must have been told he has to at least pretend to take bids for work. He used to just pick a vendor that he or one of his buddies had ties to---like cap---and give them the work no matter how ourtagous the cost.

AMs very much a product of old school automotive leadership. Zero integrity, selective honesty and solely focused at spinning to the rest of the EC. A far cry from what a trustworthy CRO needs

Really disappointing that senior management can't see through him or past the selective reports he gives them. Makes people lose confidence in all of Quintiles.
 




I see Big Pharma starting to take work back in house. Several are starting to hire CRA field force again after they laid them all off a few years ago in favor of CROs. They are tired of the broken promises.
