A small privately owned software company that has been in business since the early 70’s. It is a very stable company, with a majority of the employees having been here for at least 15 years. In all my time here, through many market ups and downs, we have had controlled, steady growth.
Your efforts here are noticed, with one manager between you and the president, who stays informed. The software is well known and used throughout the world, so there is great pride in being part of a small company with a big impact on manufacturing. If you are looking to be an expert in a specialized field, then this is the right place for you.
Cons
If you are thinking of using ICAM as a quick stepping-stone to something else, then this is the wrong place for you. It takes a lot effort to train people to be proficient with the software, with CAM systems, with CNC machine, etc., and that is reflected in a penalty clause if you break your contract and leave early.
I have been working at ICAM for the last 12 years. ICAM is a stable international company that has been around for over 45 years and most of its customers including Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Airbus have been using its products for many years. The product is the leader in the world and continues to outperform its competitors year after year.
Even in economic recessions, ICAM’s diverse market keeps growing steadily. Management is easy to approach and employees can even speak with the president directly with any issues.
ICAM is located in a great wooded area right next to a bike path which I sometimes use to cycle to work. Fellow colleagues are friendly, helpful and experienced in their field of expertise.
