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

Pros

The people who work at Icon are great people who get the job done. People are friendly and very helpful when you are new to teh area. They are organized and have very strict ways of dealing with organizational things. Many people have been tehre for a very long time and enjoy working for the company just like me. They train you on their systems- which are very good.

Cons

commute to location is not desirable. The traffic is awful going into Philadelphia but i don't want to sell my house to make the move just for the job because it is a horrible housing market.
