Pros

Free coffee in the cafeteria

Cons

Little to no room for growth. Applied internally multiple times and managers have favorites, so they will vengefully put in a bad word with upper level management if you dont stroke their ego. Poor pay, maybe at least 20k below industry standards and you will be working twice as hard only to be micromanaged with them reviewing every detail, questioning on your work, if your assignments really are taking that long, if you are working as hard as you can or if youre just being lazy (theres been a ten-fold increase since covid), pay-cuts, no reimbursements. You have to be prepared to take complete blame for everything and your manager wont help you, only tell you you look like youre struggling. Quick to fire people. VERY high turn over rates. Be warned. I absolutely do not recommend. If you can work any place else, please consider only taking this as your absolute last option

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
