Dedicated staff, good cooperation at the first line and middle management. Excellent medical benefits. Nice facilities.

Executive level management in Ireland are not lab people, ICON PLC took over management and ran the place into the ground. Many sponsors bailed after the US based leadership was sacked to save on salaries and centralize control

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
