Pros
All indicates: Change is the Only Constant.
By all accounts: Friendly people. Helpful People. Adaptable People.
You can feel the drive for growth and a strong philosophy that rising tides raise all ships.Cons
I've read a lot about the company. Holding judgement, keeping an open mind.
It seems "space" was a growing pain. But, it's being obliterated by a move to inspiring Bell Labs workspace.Advice to Management
Stay the course, and continue Listening and Leaning Into International Markets:

Pros
ICIMS was a great company to join several years ago. At the time, they were small but fast growing, provided excellent and improved benefits year over year and had a vibrant and energetic culture primed for success. As a new hire, you couldn't help but be excited. My direct report and colleagues were quick to help and had both mine and their own success on the mind. As a team and individual contributor, sales records were broken, success was celebrated and mistakes were learned from and corrected quickly with the right support.
Cons
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.
Advice to Management
Get back to basics: great software with an unparalleled customer experience. This was promised to every customer, NOT just enterprise! Remember your customer experience is made up by the people you hire, so be more discerning as you once were, rather than grow for the sake of numbers and investor impressions.

"GOOD company with good people around you...shady management though"
StarStarStarStarStarPros
all my coworkers were really great ppl ...work was not tough and environment was mostly very fun and easy to work in
Cons
didnt realize until a few months ago how corrupt and shady a lot of management were...a lot of sales managers would do WHATEVER it took to get things done and even one wrote on a company email to embrace bad morals ...it was strange...also seen a huge turnover of ppl be fired for weird reasons mostly if they didnt outwardly appear to be part of the culture
Advice to Management
I get iCIMs is company for sure on the rise but make sure you are ethically running a good business...karma can HURT

Pros
Many of my colleagues were caring and hard working.
Colin Day is great at casting vision, but there are tons of growing pains all over.
Fully paid health care for employee is a nice benefit.Cons
The HR department is making stuff up as they go. Performance review metrics change every six months and sales goals are always late, which makes it next to impossible to have any long term success plan as an individual contributor. If you are interviewing there, ask if your role is a backfill or new headcount and why.
Advice to Management
Take a good hard look at that voluntary turnover and ask yourself why it's happening. Great people are bailing out in droves for a reason. Care less about your new building and more about your people.
