Pros

Dedicated hard working team, supportive management, interesting clients all make ICON International an outstanding opportunity.

Cons

Hard to explain to outsiders what ICON International actually does, it's not straight forward media planning and buying, it's media planning and buying with a bit of a twist.

Pros

fun media events, occasional lunches, work/life balance is decent

Cons

Salary is insulting and growth is stagnant, managers and leadership who throw tantrums (i.e. screaming, storming off, dismissing employees, sending attacking messages) without consequence, instances of very inappropriate relationships and conversation in the workplace, and the place is a rumor mill. Derogatory comments and sexual conversations/relationships shouldn’t be happening at all, let alone stemming from leadership. Unsure if HR is really just that oblivious or if a blind eye is turned, but with the amount I’ve witnessed in just a short period of time, I can’t imagine what else goes on here.
