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 benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
