Pros

Working as a Medical Writer at ICON plc was a highly rewarding experience. I gained exposure to diverse therapeutic areas and global regulatory documentation. The collaborative, science-driven culture strengthened my writing and analytical skills. ICON’s focus on quality, compliance, and professional growth supported continuous learning. Overall, it was a fulfilling role contributing to impactful clinical research worldwide.

Cons

Working as a Medical Writer at ICON plc was rewarding but came with challenges. Being fully or partly remote sometimes made collaboration less seamless. Workloads could be heavy, especially during tight regulatory timelines. Coordinating across multiple time zones and mixed cultures required extra effort. Despite this, the experience strengthened my adaptability and global communication skills.

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.
