Some CROs are too big and some too small...ICON is just right

Pros

Talented senior leadership that I believe in. Many options for career growth. Bonus system is very competitive. Solid reputation within the CRO world. Employees at all ranks are consulted for process improvements.

Cons

Onboarding process lacks some clarity, but is in the process of improving.

ICON doesn't provide enough reasons to make you want to stay.

Pros

Flexible hours, PTO, you only need to dress up when a client comes into the office. That's all I can think of for pros. I'm just writing this because I need to write twenty words for pros.

Cons

STOP overloading your high performers and lessening the workload for low performers. STOP the favoritism. STOP promoting people that don't deserve it. Moral is so low. Everyone I know hates this place. The lazy people gets raises and praises where the ones that actually work gets dinged for mistakes because workload is so heavy and we're trying to do 5 things at once because everyone is asking for things RIGHT NOW. And please do something about these PM's who are either absent, rude, or don't know what they're doing. There's only a handful that are actually worth something and treat you with respect. Which is all some us want...just respect. A 'thank you' every once in a while would be nice. Some employees feel like they have ZERO value here. ZERO raises and ZERO praises. ZERO value. Why stay?
