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

My team was very committed to our customers and very collaborative with each other. Everyone was kind to each other, and historically there had been opportunities for mentorship and career development.

Cons

Unclear expectations from leadership. We always felt like we were trying to play catch up with how things were changing. We also always felt like we were underpaid.
