Pros

Left a competitor for a promotion from Director to Senior Director with a $20K salary increase. ICON had similar bonus %, but they also had stock bonuses, which the other company didn't offer.

Cons

If you get stuck with a terrible boss, your experience will be awful. Working in the US with a boss in the EU isn't ideal... esp when your boss undercuts her direct reports and even your direct reports.

Pros

Work from home, somewhat flexible schedule

Cons

Salaries are awful. Lowest in the CRO industry by far. Management is not great and could care less for those dedicated to clients in their full service partnerships.
