      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company who cares about its employees. They do their best to make sure their employees are happy.

      Cons

      Working for a vendor company means you are at the mercy of your client. This is the same working at any CRO.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very friendly, good management, recognition of good job done

      Cons

      some departments, such as finance, can be chaotic to work with but in recent months things have improved. Expenses have to be paid out of your own pocket and then are reimbursed

      Maintain great work/life balance at ICON but take your advanced degree elsewhere

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong Work/life balance Friendly and approachable colleagues Generous vacation and time-off schedule Above average benefits International footprint allows for collaboration globally

      Cons

      Over-emphasis on shareholder opinion, which translates to a focus on short-term tactics rather than long-term strategies to improve the company's business Significant growing pains in an organization that has grown faster than its infrastructure Below average pay makes it difficult to attract top talents Lean travel policy and reimbursement process gives sponsors the impression of a company that competes on cost rather than on talent
