iCIMS reviews

With company for 4+ years and was planning on staying for 10+ years before Vista came into the picture. Very overworked for low pay (Left the company for the same position elsewhere for a 25% bump in pay with same (if not better) benefits and much less of a workload). So much politics it becomes very frustrating to make real change. Pride themselves on internal opportunities yet resort to outside hires over internal consistently causing good talent to leave. Once Vista took majority control over the company in 2018/2019 the company started to deteriorate. New board seems like corporate robots who care more about the bottom line then their employees. What was once a great unique (privately owned and ran) place to work has become a cut throat corporate tornado of disorganization with an uncertain future. Former CEO/founder used to pride himself on never having layoffs even during tough times then there were multiple rounds of layoffs in 2020 under Vista's appointed board. Company claims it was due to covid-19 but the timing of it seemed very convenient to let go of a large percentage of the company. Many employees laid off were with the company for years.

Be careful with how much stock you put into the high rated reviews on here. The company made it an Onboarding requirement for new hires to leave a Glassdoor review during their first 90 days. iCIMS is a shell of its former self. It once was a NJBiz top 10 place to work, however Vista Equity Partners purchased the company in 2018 and has done everything to run it into the ground. They are living off of the good reputation that the original owners built, and only investing in things that make their bottom line look better. This is exactly what groups like Vista are known for doing. Purchasing companies, fattening them up with cash to make the reported ARR look great to a potential buyer, then they flip it. They literally just did this with Wrike in January 2021. Beware of applying here. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.
