Pros

Very chaotic environment and doesn’t provide a good learning experience for CRAs. They move people in and out so quickly with their high turnover that no one is proficient with their job. Also, the CEO is shady. Cut everyone’s pay due to COVID for months, but in the monthly company updates would brag about how many new studies they have. Awful morale and culture at ICON overall.Gave two stars because there are some nice people there and pay and benefits are competitive in the industry.

Cons

High turnover and no one is proficient at their jobs

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.
