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

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
