ICON reviews

Promotions are difficult to come by and constantly being told a “business need” is necessary. Merit increases do not keep up with inflation. With ICON acquisition, not all systems harmonization has gone smoothly and some have gone back to archaic processes (especially with finances). Layoffs in various departments to move the roles to low cost centers makes it more difficult to manage a study (everything is a day behind because there is literally a 12 hour time difference). Constant changes in roles and responsibilities across various departments seem to have increased number of FTLs who are inexperienced in actually leading their functional area.

They will work you to death if you are an American. EU PMs overseeing US teams without any idea of how the laws are here, insisting you try to talk sites into changing their SOPs for your one study. You will find yourself working ridiculous hours on tasks you are told are immediately urgent, only to find you stayed up all night for no reason because it was just manufactured are to get you to work harder. Run far far away!
