Pros

Benefits and time off are good. That's how they keep you.

Cons

ICON will overwork you and underpay you. There is little room for promotion. It's about who they like the most and not about who is most qualified. The have a handbook and training, but I am not sure that anyone in upper management or HR actually read it or trained. Complaints of discrimination go ignored or brushed off, and retaliation is a real thing. They are more concerned with keeping the sponsors happy and making sure the contracts get renewed than they are with supporting their employees. And we also haven't forgotten about how our annual merit increases were delayed and then barely worth it because they lied to investors and found themselves in a lawsuit.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
