Vantaggi

There are few genuinely hard working artists in the company.

Svantaggi

I was brought on to be a team lead. I soon realized that most of management had junior level experience. It was uncomfortable receiving critiques / direction from people who's best production was VeggieTales. Senior management are rooted in self grandeur and cant see past their own nose. Their arguable years of "experience" at a B rated studio, has led them to believe they know best. This delusion has infused an envious atmosphere of outside talent. Instead of replacing management with more qualified individuals, they fire people that seem to be a threat. ICON uses a deceitful practice of letting people go before their 3 month probation is up. They lure artists on board with a lengthy contract but let them go early so they wont have to pay any penalties. Many have been given bogus reasons for being fired only to appease the sole purpose of avoiding lawsuits. As for dailies, it was a joke! Half the time was spent arguing about the shows budget and how they blew past the projected bids. Mass hysteria and bleeding funds can only be placed on the heads of incompetent management. Unfortunately, it's the truly talented artists that get axed while the veteran management are left stroking each others ego due to cutting payroll. As an artist... you'd have a better experience flipping burgers in between jobs, while waiting to work on the next Avengers film. Most positive reviews seem to be coming from individuals with little to no experience on major productions elsewhere.
