Pros

Goog pay Good work-life balance (in theory) Good benefits

Cons

Unrealistic expectations arise from ICON’s flawed competition strategy — rather than competing through high-value project execution, the company accepts FSP roles that place staff in subordinate or high-risk positions within sponsor organizations. Misleading hiring practices — roles advertised as “permanent” often lack long-term stability. Employees may face persistent micromanagement and shifting priorities, with performance expectations that are difficult to meet or define. Extended PIPs are common and often perceived as procedural formalities rather than opportunities for genuine development.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
