Pros

PRA International was a people-centred CRO which allowed for great people to want to be there. Once it was acquired by ICON, everything completely changed: layoffs, unreasonable stress and intensity.

Cons

Employees stretched very thin. Stressful and challenging work environment. People leaders have their hands tied. No opportunities for growth.
