Pros

The Salesforce platform and promise of the technology is solid. Development struggles to keep up with market needs. So much potential in the marketplace for a platform like ICIX, but it is still questionable whether it will succeed. Maybe things have changed since I left though.

Cons

Management continuously talks down to employees. I didn't get the sense they valued people much. Execution is troubling.... I mean incredibly troubling! People don't show up to work. The ones that do are the top performers, but consistently yelled at for no good reason, but to appease leadership ego. It's just not a professional work environment that top notch people would want to work.

I always welcome people to raise their concerns and share their opinions. But I am troubled when inaccurate statements are made in public about a company and its valuable employees. To address some of the items mentioned above: - Yes, indeed: we have made ambitious decisions to serve a very promising market, with what we believe is the best IT platform in the industry (Salesforce.com). - We are very proud of our purpose, to promote safer and better products for demanding consumers, always eager to know more about the products they consume. - I would never tolerate that employees are talked down by management, for any reason. If that has happened, I will address the issue right away. - We value the benefits of people working remotely, while we also promote team work in the same location. We have just opened an office in downtown San Francisco to reduce commuting times for our colleagues living on the East and North Bay. - we have been hiring a lot, and constantly looking for talented people. There are still a number of open positions. Contact me if you are interested. - I do not see any "fake reviews about ourselves" in here. - Yes, we work in a high pace environment. People like it and come here for it. It can be stressful at times, I agree. But we are serving a great cause and great customers. This is very motivating and rewarding. David Marchand, ICIX CEO.

Pros

Solution is built stop a world class cloud platform. We have a super collaborative and diverse culture... everyone is looking to work together and help one another. Executive team rewards those that go above and beyond and take charge. Its one of the few places where you can work your way up into a true leadership role.

Cons

If you don't like working hard and need a predefined roadmap to know what to do next, you'll feel a little lost. There is plenty of leadership opportunity... you just need to take it. The negative comments are from those that are used to being spoonfed... Being a leader a leader means finding the gaps that need plugging, figuring out how to plug it, be transparant, get consensus, get permission if need be (it will be given if you are right) and go for it. All why doing your day job...
