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.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

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.
