Pros

Decent, newer office owned by Ernest Rady. Stand up/sit down desks, lots of random snacks in break rooms, free water provided unlike last office, gym access and lots of food and shopping choices around the area.

Cons

Poor company culture, only executives and management are appreciated, and horrible management from top down. Unsupportive HR department and overall, by far, the most dysfunctional company I've worked for. Company can't even provide adequate parking spaces or bathrooms for employees. CEO and COO could care less about their employees as long as they are making money!

Pros

I'd say "the co-workers" , but everyone seems to be looking to move to another opportunity. The Del Mar location is wonderful, but now they're moving to Escondido. Senior Management will stay in the premium location.

Cons

Today's progressive companies strive to find ways to KEEP employees happy, motivated, enthusiastic. ICW must teach management to continually point out negatives, ways to improve, assuming this will inspire employees. It tends to have the negative impact as turnover is high. "Going away" parties are common. Those who leave often reach back for former co-workers who also feel overwhelmed and under appreciated. Work-life balance is NOT a priority and much is expected. Employees simply do not trust management.

Pros

Lower pressure than what is found at larger or publicly traded organizations. Unfortunately, the cause is because there is no planning or tracking against actuals Some individuals are very good and collaborative Pay is reasonable, not bad if you take into account the first point above Remote/hybrid work. Good equipment

Cons

IT leadership is lacking. There are senior managers, but no leaders. They accept all the wins and praises but blame any losses or issues on lower levels. No tech acumen In general, senior leadership have the positions because of time served, not because of leader leadership skills Initiatives for improvement get shot down by some/most managers and some teams just don’t want to change Very high average age in the technology area A lot of people has never worked elsewhere. They have an extremely limited vision of how corporate and technology practices. The resistance to change is very high People leave in hordes. They justify it on the “great resignation”. People leaving started well before that term was coined. Again, no accountability for bad management and practices. They keep blaming the lower levels and the market conditions They source from similar companies, with similar issues Many people come to or stay at the Company to retire. They don’t want change, new technology or practices, just doing the same for 10 years more
