Pros
Location in cool local historic building, fresh grind coffee machines, sparkling water machines, bagel Fridays
Cons
This place has gone downhill. The positive reviews titled "3 months" and "90 days" are written before employees realize what's happening here. iCIMS is losing customers due to the product and mismanagement after the company was sold to an equity firm. Competitors have caught up with way better user-friendly interfaces, and standard features iCIMS still doesn't offer despite engineering hiring every person who lives... in NJ with a development degree. But if you go to a company meeting where they say they are "transparent" not a single person will mention how the product is failing. Instead, all you will hear is the equity firms best practice is to never say No to the customer. Only the execs are allowed to say No. So don't you dare to it. Do whatever it takes to say yes which include lying about what the product can do. Stop taking too long to implement and stop nickel and diming. Look around! There is a reason so many veteran people have left. Pretty soon, this place will be a ghost town full of empty desks in this huge building that you are building new floors in for nothing. Then will you wake up and be honest its the product, not the people, when all your staff has gone to companies with superior leadership, products, and better pay?

Stop blaming every other department under the sun except your entire floor full of the development staff for renewal issues. You are losing customers because of the product, not your employees. While you are at it, stop giving the sales teams free paid vacations when everyone else is left to clean up the messes from sales selling a poorly developed product that a customer expects has functionality that doesn't exist... because no one is allowed to be honest and say No. We need to say No. We are not magicians. We can't make the product do something it wasn't designed to do no matter how bad you want us to find a way when implementing. Just design the product to do it in the first place. The execs in meetings call on leaders to explain departments that they are not even leaders of. It just really shows how out of touch the execs are when making these decisions. What a joke this place has become.

Pros
iCIMS is a good place to work in my experience. The people I had the chance to work with were good people and many of them will become people who will be resources throughout your career. There is a nice work-life balance culture at the company it wouldn’t be uncommon for people to work from home multiple times per week if necessary. Management is considerate if you are upfront with any personal issues or life... problems you may be having as you try to balance work and life. That can’t be said for many companies. Bell Works is a historic building and thus makes it a cool place to work. It has been harder as the firm as grown but the company tries to have company-wide events to keep alive that “family” type atmosphere.

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.

I think encouraging employees to write glassdoor reviews after 9-12 months would provide more meaningful feedback versus during the first 90 days of employment. Revamp the referral program to encourage people to be incentivized to keep the pipelines full for talented employees. If the compensation will be under the bigger markets the selling point has to be the company culture, and values. Besides that, a... little more effort to keeping the culture alive

Pros
Quickest apply --> onsite --> offer I have ever experienced. Took 3 days from applying to get a call from recruiter, schedule an onsite and get an offer. They do not mess around. Other pros: - Exceptional service from recruiters, constant contact - Facility was beautiful - Interviewers were competent and demonstrated a great company culture
Cons
- Benefits are slightly worse than other companies I had offers from. 401(k) match is only maximum of 3%. No annual bonus, stock options, etc.
Advice to Management
Just started so none at the moment
