Pros

- good support from senior management - exposure to many different facets of clinical research - good training ground - if you can work with ICON, you can easily adapt with other companies

Cons

- people as resources are very thinly stretched out to cover as many tasks as possible - no bonus scheme for non-managerial staff -- managers seem to get all the perks

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

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
