      Noble work, lousy company

      Pros

      You know you are doing work that is helping sick people Some lower-level employees are very nice to work with

      Cons

      Extremely rigid corporate environment where employees are treated like drones US employees have had sick time taken away, so you must choose between being sick or taking vacation. As a result, most employees come to work sick and get everyone around them sick. Health insurance costs double each year. Salaries in no way keep pace. No creativity or innovation is encouraged. Managers are discouraged from giving any positive feedback; nothing is ever good enough, even when goals are exceeded.

      Pros

      The biggest compliment an employer can give an employee is asking them what they think! I love the fact that I can go to my director or even my VP and share my thoughts. It’s great to know my voice is not only heard, but also how I feel matters. The leadership cares and will do what they can to make us happy. ICON has an excellent focus on supporting and helping current staff grow into the roles they choose.

      Cons

      No workplace is perfect but here you can make yourself part of the solution

      Greedy company that only looks after management level or above

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working hours. Work from home available. People who work for them. Pension. healthcare.

      Cons

      Low salaries. Ridiculous workload. Management doesn't follow through on promises. Only eye for cost savings (by increasing workload). No work/life balance. parking in a field for everyone who hasn't been with the company for more than 3 years. Employee engagement survey done yearly but no actions taken. No career progression possible. Rather hire contractors from outside at a ridiculous rate, than to look internally for suitable candidates. Blame culture and because of this people are hiding their mistakes. Not fair nor consist in remuneration and bonuses. Company spends fortunes on 'whims' of CEO. Very high turnover due to dissolutioned and overworked employees
