Pros

Before getting job you will be treated well. After joining you will be treated as hell.

Cons

Icon has a deeply ingrained culture of HR malpractices, from blatant favouritism and internal politics to constant violation of company policies. Management supports biased behaviour and often terms a blind eye to HR Ethical violation, which creates a toxic and hostile work environment. Promotions and career growth are not based on merit. But rather who you know or what group you are aligned with internally. The lack of transparency and constant retaliation against anyone questioning the system makesnit impossible to thrive. If you want to jeopardize your career and work in an environment that rewards manipulation, over hardwork, Icon is the place for you. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere..

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'.
