      Pros

      Good benefits, good work life balance, nice people. Overall it is a pleasant enough place to work with a true global scope (ICR side).

      Cons

      Generally terrible support functions (HR, Finance...). Extremely bureaucratic and process oriented machine. Probably an excellent CRO, but they detroyed all the other businesses they acquired.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Talented team members across departments unfortunately these people are starting to leave due to recent management decisions.

      Cons

      1) Management recently significantly reduced benefits without warning. 2) Annual increases are set up such that no one ever gets better than "meets expectations" and increases are rock bottom at an average of 1.8% for last 3-4 years. 3) ICON was once known for providing a very nicely balanced work/life workload. Not anymore! 4) Good employees are leaving at a steady rate causing instability for teams. Also, when a team member leaves it can be literally months before they are replaced. 5) ICON management does not support their employees from maniacal sponsors. 6) Systems are home grown and outdated.
