Pros

My line manager was fantastic. Whatever projects I wanted to work on, she figured out a way to put me on them. I really grew as a CRA at ICON. The pay is better than my previous company and generally better compared to other CROs.

Cons

They had a minimum of 8 visits per month for multi-sponsor, which was too much travel for me. The social aspect is lacking. As a CRA, I was working from home or traveling to sites, and I felt very disconnected from my colleagues.

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.
