Pros

ICON is a good place to start your career. You will learn so much about how not to do things!

Cons

ICON is too focused on the bottom line even at the expense of quality. It also puts profits over people. Our CEO can lay off people telling them it's for budgetary purposes while the stock price is at record highs and him being the highest paid CEO in Ireland.

Pros

A lot of learning opportunities. Training is thorough but they don't coddle you. I feel constantly challenged. Great benefits (US based) compared to my significant other. I left my last job because of boredom - this was a great change of pace. I also like the team dynamic here. Better than my last job.

Cons

If you don't like to be constantly challenged then this isn't a good place for you.
