Pros

Large companies offer some stability. Generally an ok company, No major gripes on corporate ethics when viewing as an investor. Many good people putting forth much energy to make a difference. Have worked with some really outstanding people at PRA

Cons

Focus on share price to a detriment. Understaffing teams is common. CTM workload is excessive. Currently moving many roles to low cost regions, causing bottlenecks. Top-heavy and process laden. Icon's acquisition of PRA was somewhat unfriendly and was not beneficial to PRA employees or clients.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
