Pros

Work life balance, respect for individuals' priorities and job functions, diverse teams with multifaceted perspectives, low pressure environment, some A students abound

Cons

Mostly people just stick to their job and shut down when is necessary for their personal priorities. Not much sense of shared goals, individual performance is rarely recognized except at the lowest rungs

Pros

- good support from senior management - exposure to many different facets of clinical research - good training ground - if you can work with ICON, you can easily adapt with other companies

Cons

- people as resources are very thinly stretched out to cover as many tasks as possible - no bonus scheme for non-managerial staff -- managers seem to get all the perks
