Pros

Coworkers are very good. Benefits are good but your share is expensive if you're not single. Decent but not great career support (i.e. online learning) materials.

Cons

Benes can be expensive and some (e.g. ISP subsidy) are hard to access. Annual raises are tied to the same subjective metrics that annual bonuses are, and a negative review is easy to come by, leaving you with an at-or-below COA raise. ICON provides you with materials for supporting your upward career trajectory but with no time to actually put them to use and no real guidance on which ones you would need.

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'.
