Pros
The company has previously acquired a number of organisations with talented people and brands that were leaders in the space with good global reach.
Cons
Unsustainable people business model that focuses solely on the “numbers” at the expense of supporting talented people achieve and sustain future growth in their areas by working together (Extensive travel restrictions, high workloads, lack of investment in people and very high team turnover).
Advice to Management
Focus on the people in your business to generate future long term sustainable growth for your shareholders.

Pros
Didn't have to work long hours.
Cons
Looking back at this role, I realise now how poorly run the organisation was. Uncollaborative and poorly-trained management. Lots of unhappy and unfulfilled people in the office which was normalised by management. HR also didn't have a clue what they were doing.
Advice to Management
Train your staff better. Some line managers didn't have a clue what they were doing.

Lots of change over the years which has eroded the culture, some senior managers are very reluctant to change.
Advice to Management
Believe in your people and their expertise.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at ICON full-time for more than a year
Pros
If you like getting paid at the low end of your salary band, this is the place for you. If you like a sense of better times past and an inescapable feeling of pessimism, this is the place for you.
Cons
Management refuse to learn about the companies and services they acquire and so fail to adapt to keep staff and clients
Advice to Management
Listen to your staff to understand the service line of which you are now in charge, despite never working in it
