Pros

Excellent direct manager and a wonderful team of CTAs (who are all being let go)

Cons

Steve has decided to have mass layoffs despite excellent business. He wants cheaper labor, so he’s getting rid of talented, dedicated, experienced individuals. Icon culture is solely dedicated to profit. They do not care for their employees. I was extremely lucky to have an amazing direct manager, but I was cut with everyone like a cancerous tumor. If you live in the US (or any 1st world country), I strongly recommend you do not apply.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
