Pros

Benefits are top notch. Some managers are awesome.

Cons

They will work you to death if you don't live in a major city, plan to travel 80-90%. Metrics are everything to upper management regardless of any other needs or feedback from CRAs. Home grown CTMS system is antiquated, inefficient and opposite of productive and but is also where trip reports are written. Resourcing does not consider your location when they assign sites. Keep in mind that I have worked for only 1 sponsor since starting at ICON 3 years ago so my experience is solely based on this.

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

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