Vantaggi

There are no pros to working for ION. They treat their employees terribly, clients are leaving in droves.

Svantaggi

Where to start? - Worst management team ive ever seen. The managers never acknowledge staff in the office, they treat them with contempt. - The CEO likes to think he can shout and scream at people. The receptionists will frequently get an ear bashing as well as IT staff. I suggest he spends more money on anger management sessions and less on buying private islands (Yes the whole company knows what you are up to in Canouan) - Constant penny pinching, whether its switching to gmail to save money, cutting down all overseas trips, or making people redundant only to later hire graduates or staff from India who they can get at half the price but have none of the skills or experience (some of these staff have to deal with clients, which goes down like a lead balloon) - Poor pay - No payrises or bonuses except for a very few staff. Staff are notified later and later whether they will get anything, this year it was end of May. Always the same story, the business has'nt done well etc. - They are currently running a branding exercise, its embarrassing, the 'brand champions' think its all a joke but have to try and keep a positive head on things and tell staff to help build the company image whist people are being laid off all over the place. - Constant desk moving, whilst i was there I was moved 5 times. There is no reason to this other than management like to move people around to show they are doing something. - I would say 90% of the people working there hate it, they only stay because of habit and are afraid of the unknown. Dont take my advice on the above, look at the other reviews on this website, is it just a select few who have a chip on their shoulder? or is the truth that this company is a disgrace, run by a bunch of idiots who havent a clue really what they are doing? They have software that works but thats it, clients though have had enough and are already moving on...if they can cancel their contracts that is, but thats a whole other story....

Vantaggi

Management really cares about the LDP and provide opportunities for the analysts to achieve their goals/improve their skill sets. We have many opportunities to travel to our international offices and ask for projects that are interesting and a good learning experience. I've had a good experience with other team members who are not part of the program as well. The office is more collaborative now and I think ION is trying to improve on past criticism/feedback.

Svantaggi

Work load can be daunting at times and you may get different directions from several managers. However, if you ask questions and aren't afraid to take on challenges this can be a great way to constantly strive for more.

Vantaggi

The New York office is very nice, on the 50th floor and overlooks Central Park. There are some nice people working in the office there and everyone has a collective feeling of sympathy for their fellow colleagues.

Svantaggi

You need to understand that if you join ION that you are sacrificing any chances of career advancement whatsoever. While no expense is spared when it comes to fancy offices, every expense possible is when it comes to employees. While starting salaries are reasonable, there have been no pay increases for years, and bonuses when given are tiny. The CEO insists on a hands-on approach to every single part of the company (including approving an order for more coffee!) and the result is that very little ever gets done. Benefits are awful for a company of this size (no 401k employer contribution, minimum contribution toward heath, etc). There is very little flexibility when it comes to hours or working remotely. Think very carefully before joining ION and signing that onerous non-compete which could basically put an end to your career in this industry unless you change your industry/profession entirely or are happy to stagnate in misery at ION. I would strongly recommend against joining. I would also point out what many on here have mentioned - there are a number of reviews below which are very clearly fake. If you read a review which jokingly refers to ION as a "Market Leader" or similar, you need to be aware that these have been written specifically to try and boost the dismal rating the company rightfully has on Glassdoor.
