I am working here for 14.5 years. One of the best clinical research organization. Culture here is absolutely people friendly, there is transparency everywhere from the top management to the ground level. ICON is very steady and stable organization hence job insecurity is not a thought to bring in mind. Attrition rate is very low in ICON. Employees who leaves ICON, aspire to join back again.
It is unfair to say any dislikes about ICON. Only aspect where ICON can be bit more aggressive is to adapt advance technology.

Excellent place to work, Growth & Salary are directly proportional to the tenure that you put in the organization. Given the opportunity and knowledge gained from ICON, any competent employee will be offered one / two plus levels, when you move to other competitors. The organization always pushes you to perform at next level. Job satisfaction guaranteed.
Certain organization policies are conservative & little outdated. If they could be benchmarked, then ICON is unbeatably the best CRO in the world.

ICON is my third company and I wish this would be my last company to continue working my whole life. I have got my freedom to speak my opinion and make decisions. Got a very broad span of growth and opportunities to upskill my career level. I have also been appreciated for the good work I do and have provided Promotions and good salary package. I happy to be associated with ICON and would like to continue my career here at ICON....Read More
Every company / organization would have some or the other which people would dislike. It could be people you work with or anything like that. IT does apply to ICON as well, but it has not made any great impact in my career growth, as I have very good friends, leaders and managers here at ICON. So nothing makes me feel disliked about ICON.

ICON is my 4th organization, i wish i could retire from here itself :-) . ICON is a company of great leaders and culture. You will have people around you that respect you and pay attention to you and your skills. I have been rewarded for all of my achievement so far. fingers crossed for future. i feel the sense of equality here. Youget to learn many things on daily basis. You may find cool bosses/managers here. Indeed, you will have lot of work but that's what I am hired to manage. :-) . Trust me i had seen toxic culture in my previous Org but it's not the case here. Peace of mind while working is very important & that I get in icon perfectly. Kudos to the icon higher management....Read More
I DONT have any dislike about the icon. ICON is the BEST company i am working with. But would rather suggest a point that if icon start's providing their tenured employee's onsite/abroad opportunity to work, visit other icon offices across the world. then it will add value to the employee experience and career.

The best part is general shift and could see a lot of your counterparts travelling across the world.
There is no growth at Icon India - Chennai. Lot of politics and there is no opportunity for self developments. IJP's are created only for an eyewash. Poor HR and services that are rendered by HR are completely biased and useless. Only when the HR team is changed the entire organisation in Chennai will shine. There is no employee concern when you stretch or come during off days to work. Budget allocated for employees aren't used for them which demotivates most of the time....Read More

We follows a collaborative system, where tasks are often completed as a team. We also offer occasional work-from-home flexibility to support work-life balance, while ensuring that all targets and responsibilities are met efficiently..
The daily target is non-negotiable; if we are unable to meet it due to illness, the missed target must be completed by the following day. Any pending tasks must also be completed along with the new day's target. Failing to meet these expectations in the sick time also may result in a lack of recognition, rewards, or opportunities for promotion

All my responses are based on my experiences with the company. I am employed with ICON and working on a FSP model to some other company. The experiences till date is satisfactory enough. For my profile, the best thing that I liked is the travel policy ICON has.
Again can't say much but I would say that a little proactive news towards the outsourced FSP employees will benefit in terms of IT systems. Rest I am fine with everything.
Work policy: I am permanently home based. There are people who are office based also or on hybrid model

Icon allows us to maintain our work-life balance and learning new skills it will help to develop ourselves. Employes's can use variety of benefits like work from options, transportation and free food. Icon offers competitive salary along with more benefits for the employees.
There is nothing dislike about working with Icon, however I find that four-days Formals are little challenging.

The Benifits and policies are very much convincing for the employees in ICON which denotes that the company really cares about the employees, which makes us more motivated and happier while working with the company.

Great to be part of ICON which takes care of its employees very well. The team environment is really cool and non-toxic. I have not felt any pressure working as part of my team in ICON. The collaboration is good among the team.
If you are a contractor, the experience will be different. Many things are limited to just the employees and not the contractors though they are also part of the team working from the same office premises. This includes, participating in company events, food services etc. are restricted. Most of the times, contractors are left as audiences in events. All these tend to violate one of the key values of ICON which is "Inclusion". Another instance is that, the introduction of Contractor tags for ID's which clearly discriminates the ICON employees and contractors from vendor companies who work for us. The irony is that, the same tag which says "Contractor" is given to housekeeping, security staffs and to the Employees from vendor companies. I feel its illtreating the Employees(Analysts, Developers or Validation team members) from reputed vendor companies to just wear a badge that highlights they are "Contractors" and similar to housekeeping/security staffs!...Read More
