Pros

- pleasant work friends but only within your level of seniority - site facilities - training opportunities and courses at start of joining

Cons

- no career progression at all - open bully policy which includes members of senior management. Talking about colleagues behind their backs verbally in an open office or via Lync messages (often accidentally to the person being talked about!) - leads put in charge with no management experience - colleagues often witnessed having breakdowns due to the immense ever increasing unrealistic work load that leads put onto analysts. Then they bully them for being able to deliver - no respect for colleagues of lower seniority

Pros

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

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
