Pros

My line manager was fantastic. Whatever projects I wanted to work on, she figured out a way to put me on them. I really grew as a CRA at ICON. The pay is better than my previous company and generally better compared to other CROs.

Cons

They had a minimum of 8 visits per month for multi-sponsor, which was too much travel for me. The social aspect is lacking. As a CRA, I was working from home or traveling to sites, and I felt very disconnected from my colleagues.

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

Cons

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

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
