iCIMS reviews

No company is perfect, and iCIMS has recently doubled in size in the past 4 years or so. This will come with natural growing pains. Like with any technology company there is that fine balance of pushing the new products out the door and the quality of the product. In this era of aggressive growth, the pendulum has swung pretty far to the aggressive product strategy. With the quality of the core product degrading slowly. The culture has become a little too top-down, and a focus on metrics that validates what people want to believe versus what is the actual truth has settled in. Compensation is a little low compared to Philly/NYC for some positions. Some people need to have their egos checked at the door. Nothing wrong with building important products, and services for the customer and helping the economy but some act like they are curing life-threatening diseases.

Growing pains led to real business problems: Teams became quickly silo'd and compartmentalized with little collaboration. iCIMS too quickly took on new hires and ultimately diluted the quality of hire and overall culture. Performance in multiple areas suffered and continues to do so. A series of layoffs followed that and wrecked moral. Sales targets are frequently missed, adding to the downward spiral. This continues to be the case at iCIMS with most goals for 2017 being missed to date. SMB customers shafted by product positioning refocus. Not a great place to be joining right now.
