Quintiles Named to Computerworld Magazine's '100 Best Places to Work in Information Techno...( The competitive edge sought by the best...)

Date:7/14/2008

"The competitive edge sought by the best and smartest companies is no longer information technology itself," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "After all, IT has permeated the business processes of almost every department of virtually every enterprise. The new competitive edge is finding and retaining the very best people to chart and implement your IT strategy."

The Computerworld annual report takes into consideration average salary and bonus increases, the percentage of IT employees receiving promotions, IT staff turnover rates, training and development opportunities and the percentage of women and minorities in IT staff and management positions for US-based companies.

Quintiles' Profile in the Survey

In its profile of Quintiles' IT organization, under the heading of "Why You Want to Work There," the Computerworld 100 Best Places story reports that Quintiles had (in 2007) over "600 IT professionals working in 27 countries, with all staff reporting into functional units with global responsibility."

"From these large functional teams, smaller project teams that include regionally diverse IT professionals are frequently formed. This team-oriented environment and global interaction emphasize professional accountability, while the exposure and regional dependencies encourage personal growth and cultural awareness," the report says.

To support Quintiles' double-digit growth, the company is looking for all levels of technology professionals to join its high-growth environment and "Work Worth Doing" culture. Quintiles' IT organization has added many positions across all major sites and is aggressively recruiting for a significant number of global and US roles.
