iCIMS Reviews

Pros

* The central Jersey location is great, historic building with fantastic amenities * Lots of employee perks * Some of the smartest, most passionate, and talented people I've ever worked with * A culture that was incredibly inviting, supportive, and inclusive...at least for a while

Cons

* Employees are required to learn and do things vastly different from their job description or roles they were hired for * Roles in Customer Service and Sales department are constantly being redefined by management * Mid-level manager don't do a great job of recognizing the hardest working or most dedicated employees * Honest feedback is ignored or discounted by management * Employees are over-worked, over-stressed, and under-payed * The company culture has suffered after the acquisition. We have fewer employee mixers, team outings, and gatherings to recognize individual contributors * Blame for poor performance in sales and retention is being shifted to the wrong part of the business

Pros

Focuses on personal development and growth. The company thrives on helping its employees succeed.

Cons

I do not have any cons at this time.

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?

Pros

iCIMS is poised for long-term growth. iCIMS has very smart employees and exceptional leaders spread throughout the organization and across the country. You'll work in a beautiful building and receive good medical benefits. Nearly every week after you start, you (and your social network) will receive well-crafted propaganda that says iCIMS is a great place to work. And you'll like receiving iCIMS propaganda because it reminds you of the great choice you made. It won't take long before you'll wonder why anyone would ever think about leaving such a great place with an excellent culture.

Cons

iCIMS is poised for growth, but achieving sustainable growth won't be easy due to: ==> High Turnover, High Turnover, High Turnover ==> Toxic Culture - no accountability, diverse but not inclusive, hostile work environment, bullying/intimidation, siloes, finger pointing ==> Stifle Innovation - Legacy Technology, Bureaucracy, No Leadership, Minimal Tools/Support ==> Ubiquitous Managerial Incompetence/"The Peter Principle", Some Departments Promote Like Fraternities & Sororities ==> Bonus/Stock Option is not available to all employees (depending job title, your contributions could be valued like a 2nd class citizen, but you could possibly drive $20,000 to $100,000 in free soft drinks if you commit to it)

Pros

Some of the pros during my interaction with the team/company as a candidate include responsiveness, effectiveness, attitude and culture of colleagues

Cons

I do not have any cons at this point. My interaction and experiences have been positive.

Pros

Fun work environment, great coworkers, awesome benefits, lots of small perks (i.e. free food & drinks, events, etc.)

Cons

6pm end of day can be rough when you have a long commute ahead of you; almost continuous organization change with minimal employee updates can lead to some confusion & uncertainty
