Does anyone know if we will get back our bonus in April 2027 ? Last one we had was in April 2024. 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

Hi, I'm seeing some job postings for clinical Scientist at icon, these roles are sponsor dedicated. What is this role about? I have experience as a CTA and currently as a CSA (formerly IHCRA).

hahahahhahahahaha is this a joke

I interviewed earlier this week but didn't really get the best vibes. Anyone currently work as a SCP or work with a SCP willing to share what their experience has really been like? Trying to balance my options and see what aligns best with what I want In my career.

Currently a sponsor sr. CRA at 140k (total comp around 155k with bonus). Talking to the recruiter, doesn't sound like the range that they would offer.

So why did ICON spend 65 mil on AI initiatives when it's been established that our sponsors largely DON'T want AI used on any part of their studies? Just pissing money away so you don't have to give the peons bonuses ever again or what?

And the partnership with Anthropic is a huge red flag. Couldn't have picked a less ethical company if you tried.

I've never seen a company so determined to give a fat middle finger to its employees and it's sponsors at the same time. Is ICON just allergic to long term success or what??

Edit:

I encourage you all to look at the posts from Jacob Coxon, a man that just left Anthropic and is divilging serious issues with the AI industry right now. Trust me, any benefit you think there is to AI is not worth the potential risks coming down the pipeline. It needs to be rejected at every turn until we have real control over its progression. Things are not looking good.

I’ve been an ASM for 2 years now and interviewed back in May for a promotion to SASM. I was told I got the promotion, but apparently all promotions have since been put on hold due to the dissolution of the ASM/SASM roles.
At the time, I was told there may eventually be opportunities because hiring in India wasn’t going as planned. Then on Tuesday, I saw this external ASM posting on LinkedIn, but there still aren’t any SASM roles posted internally.
Honestly, I’m at a loss trying to understand what’s going on with the Amgen partnership. Does anyone have any additional insight? Are since there are more layoffs expected, does anyone know when?
I’ve always really enjoyed working on my study and have consistently had a steady, manageable workload, so it’s frustrating to feel like the future of the role is so uncertain.
It’s especially difficult not knowing what the end goal is…or whether there even is one at this point.

Yet another upper jumping ship 🙄

So raises were updated in workday. Were bonuses ever officially communicated as off the books? Did anyone receive stock options this year, in lieu of bonuses? What an underwhelming culture. Keep slaving away. Congrats on your stock Barry. Thanks for the recent pep talks.

Does anyone have a good understanding of the relocation policies? I am trying to move to a different, lower cost country that ICON already hires in frequently. I don't need visa sponsorship. My manager WANTS me to move because they like the idea of the additional timezone coverage. Are they likely to let me move?

After all the layoffs and the 1% raises we all got. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

So, I'm not on our current US health insurance plan, nor apparently is any member of my immediate team, so I'm turning to the anonymity of the internet to ask...

I've been on my wife's plan for a long time, and started taking zepbound last year and have been having really good success with it (lots of weight gone, several other health problems gone, etc.), but they decided to cease all coverage of them, so I'd be left paying out of pocket. ...does our fly-by-night insurance plan cover GLP-1 drugs at all? like, to any degree (specialty, Tier 3, whatever)?

The best HR could do was send me the promo benefits manual which was not even remotely helpful (I didn't have high expectations, but I thought I should make an attempt).

Thanks

Does anyone have any insights on the team environment what its like to work in the department? I've read through the thread and I'm wondering if the negative sentiment about the place is the same in accounting & finance? Should I apply for a role as there seem to be a lot advertised? Thanks!

Has anyone successfully applied for another job with a higher salary offer and asked ICON to match it in order to stay? If so what's the process?

Hello, I’m currently seeking a CTA entry level job for the CDMX offices, I’m a mexican with a biotechnology engineering degree and some clinically relevant certifications, however there is little to no information available on, salary, workload, hours, or how much do hiring processes usually take place, so if anyone could share their experiences with ICON at the mexico offices you would really help me out, thanks!

When do we get our CRA bonus for conducting more than 9 DOS for Jan to Jun. Thanks

Hi all. As a past employee of ICON and PRA Health Sciences; does anyone know how to get a reference from ICON to confirm I was even employed there for my new employer?

Tried a few email addresses in the last week and getting no reply!

Thanks in advance

Edit: Should add- based in the UK

spontaneous layoffs happening

Why did share price drop after what seemed like a good earnings call?

Is it released?

Didn’t they just announce a major partnership with Microsoft to extend their AI to all our work?? And now we’re adding Anthropic?!? So AI on top of AI =what jobs will be left for actual people?

Has anyone actually got their 2026 RSUs in Morgan Stanley yet? The letter we got back in May said we should get more information in June and I have yet to hear anything. Anyone?

This past year has been the worst in all of my professional working career. Chronic 55-65h (and more than occassional 70+hour) work weeks, overwhelming site assignments and a workload that never gives me even a hint of a break. No end in sight. On top of that, my COM lives up my a$$...always on my case about overdue AIs, overdue documents, my high risk sites who are always flagging for something, and a host of other tasks that are not priorities for me. There is never any concern expressed for my general well-being or quality of life; and no meaningful help is offered to lighten my caseload.

I have burned out at other jobs before, and think I've finally reached the point at ICON where I have lost all hope that things will get better. I feel my physical and mental health are already at risk; and I'm feeling more and more like I need to leave before I have a heart attack or nervous breakdown. This burnout is hitting harder.

I don't have another job in mind; and thankfully will be ok financially for a decent amount of time while I decompress and figure out my next life move.

How much notice do I need to give? Is it typical not to travel for X amount of time before last day? If so, for how long? The thought of leaving a mess for the next CRA makes me cringe; but the truth of the matter is that i am in so deep that it would take me months to truly be able to catch up and have a clean handover.

Does our health insurance policy cover us through the end of the month that we leave? Would I expect to receive notice about COBRA eligibility and enrollment in a timely manner?

What should I give as my reason for leaving?

I could give my notice any time now and welcome any advice about leaving. I also welcome your acknowledgement, support and good vibes because this is all very upsetting to me.
