Pros

Friendly co-workers. Convenient location of the office. Good salary (if you had negotiated smart) and decent benefits. Good place to try and grasp fundamentals of how a CRO operates, and then enlist to another company.

Cons

Dead-end position; no options for advancing your career to a next level. Random assignment of studies and sites: some employees are pinned down by the ever-increasing workload, while others coast. No balance between private and profesional life. Management makes no atempts to retain the best and the brighest ("everyone is replacable" is the norm).

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
