Pros

Great exposure to the pharma industry if you're embedded in the client's site

Cons

The recruiter will promise you a great deal of perks (holidays, PTO, WFH...etc) to get you onboard. They like to call themselves part of ICON and presented ICON benefits at recruitment. Once on board, they turned around and only gave you DOCS benefits, including horrible insurance with no options to switch, no FSA,...etc.
