Pros

Willing to explore new technologies. Employees tend to stay for a longer-than-average time. Good insurance in the U.S. and generous with awarding vacation days.

Cons

A con for U.S. staff is executive management consistently explain that it is very expensive to run clinical trials in America ... and uses that as an excuse to not expand headcount.

Pros

Lots of opportunities for advancement. Interesting work that helps people. Great people to work with in a business casual environment. Health benefits are second to none.

Cons

Training for management is non-existent. ICON wants to be the small family type of business it started as, but still be a big company. These conflict. The leadership are not interested in investing in technology that improves efficiency and solves problems.

Pros

good place for a newbie to learn the ropes, training and mentoring system needs work but you won't get fired for having no idea what you're doing and ppl are usually nice enough to help when you ask

Cons

extremely below standard salary, bonuses have been suspended, you have to fight to move up or out of a department and even then you still may be kept stagnant, extremely cliqueish...
