Pros

Location is good, sometimes time off when overtime for a lot of weeks, the office space is nice and roomy

Cons

Management isn't too good about decisions, some of them aren't that smart about employees or the work itself

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

Very little pros to working here other than it's very easy to stay under the radar. The work load is light.

Cons

Very little room for growth, eventually got laid off because ICON over hired too many CRAs it could handle. The CRA bridge program was supposed to be only 3-6 months but people we not able to promote despite being there for 2+ years
