      Pros

      Great, smart, hardworking people. Company strives to be innovative and offers really solid compensation packages.

      Cons

      Starting in 2011-2012 the company became to geocentric and would only place Irish staff in leadership positions.

      Pros

      Work life balance and benefits were ok. PTO was awesome 3 weeks starting out.

      Cons

      EVERYTHING. management was awful and lacking. NO proper training. Sponsors were demanding and no real deadlines set until right before they're due. EU/APAC CTAs did nothing to help the US CTA or studies. NO career advancement for 1+ years (closer to 2)

      Lost their way

      Pros

      Time off benefit was great. The people are wonderful to work with, always willing and able to assist, some of the best in the industry.

      Cons

      ICON has lost its way. I was a long time employee, and saw ICON grow from a place where opportunity was everywhere, employee growth was expected, and pay was good. Then everything changed. Understaffed to protect/increase profitability, nearly no growth from within, too much hiring from outside, and NO care for life/work balance. Working hard is good, but ICON takes advantage of that philosophy every day, pushing more work on already overstretched staff.
