Pros

I was at ICON for over 9 years. It's a solid CRO and they work hard to ensure benefits are attractive to the employees and fair across the company. Salary is good and work life balance is fair. Solid CRO and among the top for caring and keeping good talent.

Cons

Career progression can be tough, they have realigned jobs and titles such that it took away some of the esteem of being a manager or director at higher levels. Upper management tends to only listen to management versus worker bees, tough when they are outta touch of what the workload is and how they bid projects; puts the teams at a disadvantage to be profitable, especially in preferred partnerships.

Pros

Very little pros to working here other than it's very easy to stay under the radar. The work load is light.

Cons

Very little room for growth, eventually got laid off because ICON over hired too many CRAs it could handle. The CRA bridge program was supposed to be only 3-6 months but people we not able to promote despite being there for 2+ years
