Pros

Benefits are outstanding. Flex Fridays are a plus. Computer equipment provided is very good. Gym in building. Very supportive of female needs.

Cons

Management shows favoritism. Very slow with promotions. Some assistants have higher science degrees then management. The pay is way less than other companies. Head management go and come as pleased. Take their computers remotely to the beauty shop or to the chiropractor.

Pros

Like all CROs, working as a CRA here is a good way to get experience across a range of trials.

Cons

Never had a line manager the whole time i worked there. So there was no career development or assessment, making it impossible to ever be promoted or get feedback on my performance. Also, all the CRAs were stretched too thinly over the trials, making it impossible to monitor effectively. Even after ICON got a warning letter from the FDA over its monitoring it didn't really address the problem effectively. Management listened but couldnt' do anything. It came down to money at the end of the day. In summary, ICON is a place to work at for a while to cut your teeth as a CRA and then get out. There are better employers out there.

Pros

Good training, ICON is an excellent place to learn how to do the job. Flexibility: working from home and part time working is supported.

Cons

Management does not seem to listen to the people who actually do the work, and tries to measure everything in metrics and numbers. Benefits&salary not on same level as other companies.
