Pros

Option to work from home. Vacation days can be taken flexibly. Working hours can also be flexible at times .

Cons

High workload. Very high staff turnover. Little room for career progression and it is more about who you know rather than your work performance. Benefits are not good compared with other comparable size companies.

Pros

Very little pros to working here other than it's very easy to stay under the radar. The work load is light.

Cons

Very little room for growth, eventually got laid off because ICON over hired too many CRAs it could handle. The CRA bridge program was supposed to be only 3-6 months but people we not able to promote despite being there for 2+ years
