Pros

Passionate people that believe the CEO's mission of helping end the housing crisis across the globe. Cutting edge technology in the concrete and 3D printing space. Great pay and good benefits.

Cons

Weak leadership - Unable to make rational decisions in a timely manner to advance projects and procedures. Favoritism - Anyone that does not fall in line with any part of leadership gets ostracized while those that brown-nose will get promoted all the way up. Massive lack of communication - Huge gap in communication from senior (Not C-Level) and middle level management to lower level employees that articulates the desired path the company and projects are heading. Refusal to admit current state of the business shows a lack of understanding of the construction industry. This does not come as a shock as most of the construction leadership lacks knowledge and experience in the physical construction space.

Pros

ICON gives exciting opportunities to work with cutting edge technology, kind people, and exciting partners. Every day at ICON looks different and things are constantly new and different. It allows an eager employee to build a variety of skills and tools that they can use for their entire career.

Cons

Things at ICON are constantly changing. The ICON you may have worked at last year might not be the ICON you work at today. This can be really hard if you're not adaptable. It's also demanding and very "surge-y". It can be hard to predict when the big surges happen, but it's important to have a personal life that allows for periods of extreme commitment to your career (I am talking week-long+ sprints of working and sleeping only). This can be really difficult, if you aren't prepared for it. Another key challenge is that ICON is a true start up. Nothing is guaranteed. If you're looking for a stable and reliable workplace for longterm consistent comfort, look elsewhere. But fortune also tends to favor the bold.

Pros

Good insurance provided and access started day one. Initial company culture seems positive on the surface

Cons

‘Lean’ company mantra leads to burnout and inefficiency. Culture creates expectation that work is life
