Looks good from the outside looking in… - Engineer ICON Employee Review

Jeez, where do I start? The 3D printers, so called “robots” don’t work. The employees are working 10x harder than the robots and literally FORCING the robots to work. Constantly breaks down and needs repair 80% of the time. Cement constantly clogging the machines, hardware breaks daily, and design gets worse and worse. You can find a more reliable printer on Amazon. Company has very high turnover on all levels. Some common issues such as lack of leader, broken processes, unclear direction, and if you work outside of the office, it’s very labor intensive and dirty. None of the leaders here are tactical nor strategic. They can only see what’s in front of time. For some time, my manager didn’t even know who he reported to or get clear answers from HR on performance evals. CEO sends out videos telling employees they need to do whatever it takes to make certain projects work, otherwise company could go down hill. Only reasons why projects are even getting completed is because headcount and lots of money is being thrown at it. Nothing has been profitable so far and it looks as if nobody knows how to run a simple budget book. NASA contract? To the moon? The team leading this has had ZERO progress and is being led by either new grads or construction workers who probably know nothing tighter than a 1/8” tolerance. STAY CLEAR! Icons projects take much longer and requires more efforts compared to traditional construction. There are other companies out there that are much more advanced than Icon
