      Pros

      I am afraid no 'pros' for this horrible place

      Cons

      being mislead in the interview about the nature of the job, de-motivated employees, promotions only for 'golden cuircle' employees, very male dominated management (NO female management at ALL), no pay increases, No work-life balance, work overtime for free ( you don't even get a 'thank You'), really bad atmosphere, all employees are unhappy

      Pros

      Excellent trainings to familiarize staff with GCP and clinical trial regulations; Managers consciously aware of employees who want to move into another role; use of SMART objectives for goals/evaluations; ability to move around in different clinical trial specialties

      Cons

      havent been here long enough to know many; pay scale for moving up into a different role not great; turnover seems to be an issue especially when working on multi-year studies

      Underappreciated and overworked, being a Project Manager at ICON.

      Project manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Working with really great people. -Flexible with time.

      Cons

      -Massive Micro-management. -Zero autonomy. -Employee evaluations are used as a stick to beat you with rather then a tool to enhance productivity or achieve personal goals. -Not enough Project Management staff which contributes to massive individual workloads and employees regularly taking work home.
