Pros

Leading full-service CRO. Years of experience, global footprint, and access to some of the top talent in the industry. Strong relationships with clients. A deep roster of some of the smartest, most talented employees who are dedicated to helping to bring life-saving therapies to patients.

Cons

It's been a very turbulent 12 months, with initiatives to "right size" and increase investment in low to mid-cost countries. Unfortunately, that has led to the loss of many valuable employees, both those affected by job re-locations and the co-workers in affected teams. The company values and pillars of excellence do not feel aligned with the current culture.

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

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
