Pros

Most of the employees and mid-level management are great to work with. Pay and benefits are decent.

Cons

Most of the executive leadership lack any real experience making it a difficult place to work at. Goals quickly change but are not backed by data. These quick changes that are not well thought through and negatively impact the employees doing the hard work. Change at a startup is normal, but at ICON it's chaotic and lacks organization. Employees are not valued at all, especially in operations. Technicians asked to work in unsafe conditions on a regular basis. Safety at this company is almost non-existent and blatantly ignored when leaders want to hit certain goals or metrics. Technicians are asked to work grueling hours in extreme climates and are given little to no notice when drastic schedule changes happen, even when these changes ARE in the company's control. When the life of a print tech's safety is compared to someone driving a car by the ceo, that's a red flag. Favoritism is an issue. There seems to be an "it" crowd at ICON that is mostly made up of young, white men. These seem to be the only people valued at ICON and are given opportunities not based on skill or merit, but because they are well liked by leadership.

Pros

Intense timelines, industry shattering product performance, genuine people who want to change an industry and solve hard problems. If you want to do good work and see real results, work here. If you want to hide behind a desk and do as little as possible, don't work here.

Cons

It's a high-velocity place. If you're looking for a challenge, you'll find it here. That's only a bad thing for folks who shouldn't have applied to the company in the first place. Not everyone fits at ICON but those that fit, thrive.

Pros

Pay is decent (for now)

Cons

This company bit off more than they can chew. What their technology lacks, the operators in the field are expected to compensate for. There have been about 4 major layoffs in the past 2 years alone. Schedules can change on a days notice. Shifts can last 15 or more hours which gives the workers no time to have adequate rest. Management seems to be tone deaf during periods when the majority is unhappy with conditions. They literally played a Top Gun movie trailer during a meeting in which they announce they are laying off half of the operations department. The ones that get to stay must compete for the same or less pay with even more responsibility. Have no doubt, this company is struggling and you should be wary when considering working here.
