Vantaggi

The pay is fair and employees get free meals. It’s not a bad company, but I wouldn’t make it my forever home.

Svantaggi

The work environment is toxic and the priority is productivity over all else no matter the cost. The need to chase unattainable deadlines lead to overworked employees who feel unappreciated and unfulfilled. The company’s way of showing appreciation is by passing out stickers and free beer. We’re told we can’t afford administrative pay for days we can’t work due to safety and weather, yet we’re watching as they are continuing to create six figure salary positions. The top three supervisors for print/construction operations do not care about the staff or the company. They’re only there to protect their salaries. When criticizing the VP of construction operations’ openly rather than taking in criticism, he threatened to figure out how to eliminate the use of Slack. When we voiced concerns about not making our minimum hours in the rainy weeks or winter months we were told to find a second job. He insists on bringing criticism to him directly as an intimidating tactic. Those above him show up randomly and it’s clear they have no idea what’s actually happening at any given moment. There’s a strange obsession with E.Musk … If Icon were a human they would have sever ADHD and a mood disorder.

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.
