Pros

It is nearly impossible to get fired as the bar is set real low. That and good medical benefits.

Cons

If you are a high performer stay away. I am sure that you will given the low pay relative to the industry and the lack of career advancement opportunities. Leadership keeps acquiring companies that it has no idea how to run. The strategy group is a sinking ship as evidenced by the mass exodus of top talent.

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
