Pros

Nice people to work with and unlimited time off.

Cons

ICON is not an ideal company to work for. While my initial experience with ICON was positive, I soon became aware of the questionable office politics at play. There are limited opportunities for career advancement, and they often resort to offering perks like free days off or lunches in exchange for favorable ratings, aiming to secure their position as a top workplace. Additionally, some of the managers lack competence, with my own boss seemingly unaware of our team's actual responsibilities. They also employ tactics to withhold earned commissions, making it challenging to earn a substantial income within the company. However, if you're looking to gain some initial experience and dip your toes in the industry, ICON can be a decent place to work for a maximum of two years before seeking better opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

fun media events, occasional lunches, work/life balance is decent

Cons

Salary is insulting and growth is stagnant, managers and leadership who throw tantrums (i.e. screaming, storming off, dismissing employees, sending attacking messages) without consequence, instances of very inappropriate relationships and conversation in the workplace, and the place is a rumor mill. Derogatory comments and sexual conversations/relationships shouldn’t be happening at all, let alone stemming from leadership. Unsure if HR is really just that oblivious or if a blind eye is turned, but with the amount I’ve witnessed in just a short period of time, I can’t imagine what else goes on here.
