      STUDY START UP MANAGEMENT

      Pros

      Other departments in Icon seem to be better. Stay away from study start up. Management is ignorant to processes and very rude to employees.

      Cons

      The New employees coming to this department are leaving in droves. Management does not know how to train and feels humiliation is the key to success. They are nothing more than bullies and are very rude to the new and old staff. Stay away from this department. Do not be tricked into joining the study start up team. Look in another department at Icon or somewhere else.

      A good place to be ... for a while

      Pros

      ICON does some really important work. Who knows how many people might be healthy or even alive today because of some of the clinical trial software written to help determine the viability and efficacy of new pharmaceuticals being developed? In the years since I left ICON via an unexpected layoff, I have maintained pride in the work that I did there.

      Cons

      Office politics and favoritism! This garbage is what gets you demoralized employees. For years there was an end-of-year bonus offered to all employees; then it went away to placate the European offices and when the bonus did finally return, it was only under certain very difficult to attain accomplishments and only for certain people. Quit promising the world to the clients and actually get input from the people (most of whom are very good at what they do) who will do the work.
