Driving down Page Road in RTP today (I think it was still RTP at that point) I see they are constructing a huge building. It is for the world headquarters of Quintiles. The sign says 1000 new career opportunities are available. How great is that? It's amazing how companies keep expanding here, even during a struggling national economy. One more example of how strong our local economy is.

Well that is just not true. I have friends who work there in IT, Finance and Marketing. None of them have any type of science background.

They are consolidating some of the departments from across the country as well as expanding on their communications "company" from NY. It will be a good move for the Triangle.

When will the relocations to RTP begin?

And, as a side note, have most of the Fidelity transfers to RTP been completed?

The sign says the new home of the "World Headquarters", so I assume part of the company is here and now the main campus will be here also.

Quintiles headquarters is already here. In fact, is was originally founded in Chapel Hill by a UNC professor. I worked there as a contractor for a year; tluv00 is correct, you do not need a science background for a large majority of the positions.

I am wondering if that was the USA Headquarters and now this is the World Headquarters. That's a lot of jobs they are offering.

Then why the huge new building and why 1000 more jobs? Are they doing that good?
