Good if you're in an office setting. Dreadful if you're in the field actually building. - Technician ICON Employee Review

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.

Pros

ICON gives exciting opportunities to work with cutting edge technology, kind people, and exciting partners. Every day at ICON looks different and things are constantly new and different. It allows an eager employee to build a variety of skills and tools that they can use for their entire career.

Cons

Things at ICON are constantly changing. The ICON you may have worked at last year might not be the ICON you work at today. This can be really hard if you're not adaptable. It's also demanding and very "surge-y". It can be hard to predict when the big surges happen, but it's important to have a personal life that allows for periods of extreme commitment to your career (I am talking week-long+ sprints of working and sleeping only). This can be really difficult, if you aren't prepared for it. Another key challenge is that ICON is a true start up. Nothing is guaranteed. If you're looking for a stable and reliable workplace for longterm consistent comfort, look elsewhere. But fortune also tends to favor the bold.

Pros

Good insurance provided and access started day one. Initial company culture seems positive on the surface

Cons

‘Lean’ company mantra leads to burnout and inefficiency. Culture creates expectation that work is life
