Pros

- high salary, good exposure to various clinical trial designs and therapeutic areas

Cons

- Blame culture - managers blow minor errors way out of proportion during performance reviews. Performance reviews are based on comments from other co-workers. The culture is so filled with fears co-workers are quick to find faults in others to make themselves look relatively better.

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
