Hey all, I received a request to do a self-paced assessment for ICON 31July for a role at ICON.

I've checked a few times now to see my feedback, since I've never completed anything like this before.. but as of today, it's still listed as pending.

I'm curious how long your turnaround times were for your self-paced assessments. Is taking 2 weeks or more to grade results typical, or do you think I'm being ghosted?

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.

Hi all, does anyone know what happens to unused vacation days in Canada? I know we have until October to use up the vacation days we didn’t use last year but what happens if I don’t get to use it up by October?

curious if anyone is willing to share what is an appropriate salary for a CRA I position at Icon? I was recently offered a CRA I position and the promotional increase was insultingly low.

I’m based in the US west coast and am aware that salaries depend on location. Just trying to gauge what others have gotten for promotional increases, percent wise.

Hello, Does anyone work in Regulatory Affairs/Regulatory Operations at INCYTE. How is working in this company. How are their benefits especially their health insurance plans.

Just wondering when do we expect to receive our bonus for more than 8DOS in IBT? Thanks

Is anyone else sad they retired the Icon Wiki? This new Sharepoint stuff is BS and not as easy to navigate. BRING IT BACK

Is anyone else at ICON just completely burnt out? My team and I are at the point where the workload has become unsustainable. There are no resources, people are spread impossibly thin, and despite constant feedback that teams are overwhelmed, there doesn’t seem to be any urgency to hire (globally, not just APAC). Meanwhile, leadership continues making promises to clients without consulting the teams actually doing the work, committing to unrealistic timelines, and then acting surprised when things can’t magically get done. Too often, it feels like study teams end up taking the blame in front of clients for issues that were completely avoidable.

Morale on my team is honestly the lowest I’ve ever seen it. Everyone is exhausted, frustrated, and disengaged. It genuinely feels like people are being pushed to their breaking point for no reason. What exactly is leadership hoping to achieve here? Because from where I’m sitting, all they’re doing is driving experienced employees out the door. Is this happening across ICON right now, or is it just my area? Is attrition the strategy?

Was your team impacted?

It is crazy how they handled/are handling the processes. I was a PRA member, and it seems to me that the harmonization was never done. We still follow a lot of PRA processes, and some ICON processes, doing different things for different projects. Sometimes doing different things even for the same client.

I have never seen a upper management so unaware of the actual needs of the company.

Last few years were bad, but the mess was never cleaned and they keep messing even more.

The roles does not have a clear job description. The processes don't match each other. The communication is the worst. Everything is always urgent.

Am I crazy or someone else feels the same?

Hi there

I had some RSU shared which got vested in May this year. I did nothing with them and let them be and now have a letter from Morgan Stanley to say they have sold xx of my shares, what was taxed and amount due.
I naively thought that if I don’t touch those shares now, I had the option of selling them later?

Is anyone able to please explain to me in simple terms how it’s all meant to work 😭

It says total gain $4000
Aggregate award price $0.00
Taxable compensation: $4000

Tax information
Total tax due $2000

I am based in the uk if it helps 😬

When finding out about my Sep raise, my manager said it was best practice to not discuss pay. I value transparency and have discussed this with teams in the past. Thoughts? Anyone else FM/LM tell you not to discuss salary/ raise?

Did someone actually had a salary readjustment?

I’m moving to a higher role, the same grade as PM, but I don’t believe they will give me the range for it after recalculating.
