Pros

I loved working at Icon. The only reason I left was because the Pharma that I was working at through Icon FSP picked me up directly and I couldn't turn down the money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left Icon. They also pay the highest of the CROs. Managers were great and always open to place you somewhere else if you weren't happy in the current role. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any other than they just can't match Pharma money.

Pros

Company provides opportunities for advancement

Cons

When requesting support to assist with high workload, management provides ‘new’ staff that must be trained by CTM. After about 6mos or so, after the new support staff is trained, they get re-assigned and the cycle begins again with request for new support staff. This adds burden to already high workload and no real support
