Pros

1/2 day every other Friday and casual dress. Benefits are excellent

Cons

Worse management that I have ever seen! From queen bee, militant man hater, suck up and puppy dog- unless you are apart of the in crowd you will never move up.

Working to keep you there

Pros

I was at ICON for over 9 years. It's a solid CRO and they work hard to ensure benefits are attractive to the employees and fair across the company. Salary is good and work life balance is fair. Solid CRO and among the top for caring and keeping good talent.

Cons

Career progression can be tough, they have realigned jobs and titles such that it took away some of the esteem of being a manager or director at higher levels. Upper management tends to only listen to management versus worker bees, tough when they are outta touch of what the workload is and how they bid projects; puts the teams at a disadvantage to be profitable, especially in preferred partnerships.

Pros

Average pay and average benefits.

Cons

Senior management does not seem to care about staff. There is a culture of fear with people wondering who will be let go next. Very political
