I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ICON (Orlando, FL) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process is similar to other CROs. Fist Step: Interview with the Recruiter (around 15 minutes). Second Step: Second interview with two managers. (about 40min). The process consisted in questions regarding my previous experience, and they gave me some scenarios and asked what would I do in each situation.

Question 1
- Please, describe your experience; - Scenarios in Clinical Research.
Pocess of the interview was just fine. You meet the real person on third step of the interview. Every step is communicated clearly. And communication with interviewer is also good.
Phone screen with recruiter (15-20 minutes), followed by interview with 2 hiring managers at the same time. Whole process took about 3 weeks from screening to offer. Interview questions were pretty standard for the CRA position and they asked mostly situational and technical questions.

Question 1
How do you organize yourself before a monitoring visit?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ICON (Paris)
Interview
I devoted a significant amount of time to responding to the recruiter’s calls and emails for an FSP position at ICON in France. After several exchanges and interviews, there was no further response: no feedback, no explanation, no follow-up.This complete lack of consideration is disrespectful to candidates and gives a very negative image of ICON France. A recruitment process reflects a company’s culture, and in this case, it does not inspire confidence or the desire to move forward.Candidates, please be cautious.
