Pros
I don’t see any pros.
Cons
First of all , unless you are in FSP model; you will be assigned to unrealistic numbers of study and sites. Icon uses so many different systems for everything which is not user friendly and time consuming. Management is micromanaging and they are expecting you to be online when you are traveling and onsite monitoring and answering the emails. With these unrealistic work assignments and expectations you will be working , traveling , writing your trip and expense reports on weekends, and weeknights. No work balance, no trust on you. They are not listening to you. You are just a robot entering 70 hours per week and they are billing to the sponsors and making money. They don’t care about your life work balance or family life or personal needs. In the end, you will be failing to meet with the deadlines because there is no enough time to do all these %80 travel , 8 onsite visits and reports… answering emails… your emailbox will be bombed with so many unnecessary systems and micromanagement emails.
