Vantaggi

Pay and maternity leave are competitive

Svantaggi

The company's unspoken mantra is to over promise and under deliver. Schedule is volatile, having gone through several drastic changes in the last few months alone. Print techs expected to work 15 hour shifts while having multiple roles converged onto smaller and smaller teams leading to safety concerns and burnout. When weather or safety lead to shifts being cancelled, management called a meeting to tell print techs to take a second job driving for Uber to make ends meet. Promotions are rarely promised or offered, and when they are "something comes up" leading to the promotions being put on permanent hold or removed altogether. The culture is cult-like with more and more being asked of it's employees "for the mission" with no regards to the health or work/life balance of those being asked. The leadership is as inexperienced as it is confident, with several of the senior managers and even directors toting Icon as their first employer. PTO is pitched as unlimited but is fenced out for months at a time without exception or explanation.

Vantaggi

ICON gives exciting opportunities to work with cutting edge technology, kind people, and exciting partners. Every day at ICON looks different and things are constantly new and different. It allows an eager employee to build a variety of skills and tools that they can use for their entire career.

Svantaggi

Things at ICON are constantly changing. The ICON you may have worked at last year might not be the ICON you work at today. This can be really hard if you're not adaptable. It's also demanding and very "surge-y". It can be hard to predict when the big surges happen, but it's important to have a personal life that allows for periods of extreme commitment to your career (I am talking week-long+ sprints of working and sleeping only). This can be really difficult, if you aren't prepared for it. Another key challenge is that ICON is a true start up. Nothing is guaranteed. If you're looking for a stable and reliable workplace for longterm consistent comfort, look elsewhere. But fortune also tends to favor the bold.

Vantaggi

This company is a startup. A rather big startup, but still got the startup vibe. CEO is evangelical, an excellent salesman. Has brought in a ton of investment. He trends quite visionary, especially in the aesthetic domain. It is a good place to get your feet wet. We embrace big technical challenges. Per true startup style, an enterprising person willing to put in extra work can rise in the organization. Hard work and long hours are appreciated. And sometimes mandated, though the official 6 days/week requirement didn't work out so well... Come join us. The hiring process is a bit opaque and confused. We go through HR folks pretty regularly. Call back, use your inside contacts. Good luck, and see you soon!

Svantaggi

Velocity is our motto. Chaos is our middle name. We embrace it. We reorganize. We change our toolchain. We layoff and fire, then we hire. We ride! Design-oriented CEO is less competent in the engineering/technical domain. Our robots are serious engineering/technical stuff. Company culture is a personality cult, revolving around the CEO. He wears a white cowboy hat. Always. The small "executive" huddle who surrounds the CEO worships the white hat. Only the CEO wears a white hat. No one else would dare.
