      Here's a company that needs to re-evaluate their culture, mission statement, and values...

      Pros

      Great benefits and work life balance! Good starting point to learn more about Clinical Research from a CRO perspective.

      Cons

      Promotions within the company is so murky. I have met so many wonderful and talented CTAs that are so overqualified for their position! Some hold a PhD, PharmaD, BA, etc... and they have stayed with ICON because they believed in the company, it's culture/values, and hoped to be promoted. Unfortunately, the company does not recognize this. They continue to promote managers to higher positions but keep everyone else in their current position. This company definitely recruits the best but does not retain them... there is a high turn-over rate simply because the company cares more about profit than their people.

      Pros

      I worked with smart, capable, helpful people. Pay was good.

      Cons

      Work-life balance was challenging. Work weeks of 55-70 hour/week were expected and necessary to keep up with the work.
