Pros

Fair compensation, very good benefits, reasonable infrastructure support, versatile organization, good staff in broad disciplinary areas

Cons

Best days seem to be past for ICON perhaps also as consequence of economics, but also related to singular focus upon one aspect of CRO business-large phase clinical trials

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.

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
