Pros

Incredible employees are what have kept me at ICON. Depending on the role, work/life balance is very good.

Cons

Uncompetitive compensation. Underhires and does not promote within. The lack of growth opportunity is highly frustrating and has pushed a lot of really good people out. ICON is also layoff hundreds of US employees.
