Pros

Salary and benefits. remote working.

Cons

Logging and tracking work in multiple places. Way too much time spent doing admin work and little time to get to 'real' work. project management is very inconsistent. Onboard training and documents are practically useless. Very little feedback about work that is done and very kurt unfriendly atmosphere.

DO NOT trust what their recruiter promised you

Pros

Great exposure to the pharma industry if you're embedded in the client's site

Cons

The recruiter will promise you a great deal of perks (holidays, PTO, WFH...etc) to get you onboard. They like to call themselves part of ICON and presented ICON benefits at recruitment. Once on board, they turned around and only gave you DOCS benefits, including horrible insurance with no options to switch, no FSA,...etc.
