ICON reviews

ICON is only concerned with the bottom line now more than ever it would seem. Under staffing is a serious issue, which in turn increases everyone else's workload significantly. "Why hire more employees when you can get it done with less than half of the employees required seems to be the new mantra". PMs are tasked with many time consuming responsibilities that should be delegated to other internal departments as they do not focus directly on the satisfaction of the external client and take away from time PMs have to actively manage studies. Not much room for advancement. Negative affect on work/life balance. There is a lot of favoritism. Don't expect much help or many opportunities for advancement unless you know someone in the right position.

I have not seen many opportunities for advancement. There have been many outside hires with little knowledge of company SOPs and systems. It seems like a waste of internal talent.
