Pros

Have a great group of engineers to work with. Engineers go the extra mile for each other. Good Pay.

Cons

For a company that has been around for over 25 years, there is not much to show for it. This company went from over 50 employees to half that now; lost over 10 people just in the past year and from all departments. The entire LA management team left in a matter of months and most of them were long time employees. Numerous bad decisions including the appointment of a fraud to a director’s position, promoting unqualified people within so they don’t leave and poor business ethics have lead this company on a downwards spiral. If someone wanted to see how *not* to run a company, this would be a great example. Management continually supports the wrong team in decisions and will always choose the client over its employees. Most people feel that the company’s core values are just a bunch of words on a piece of paper and that no one abides to those values including upper management.

Pros

* Knowledgeable and dedicated Engineers. * The Engineers will assist each other when they can. * Flexible schedule. * Good pay.

Cons

* High turnover. Around 10 people left the company over the past three months (including Management, Sales, Staff and Help Desk). * Overall outlook and attitude in the Los Angeles office is grim, even with new management in place. * No one wants to come into the office any longer and there is consistent talk of interviews and other job opportunities. * No work or projects coming into the Los Angeles office due to sales team leaving. * Management cares more about clients than employees.

Pros

Awesome support engineers to work with. Other than that? Maybe the pay check.

Cons

ICS used to be a fun place to work. There was once a healthy environment with dedicated staff and supportive management. But that has changed with in this year. The company has moved forward with internal restructuring of management and management methodologies. The change is being driven by a single manager. The changes have driven off talented engineers, along with awesome manager who helped to make ICS a leading support provider. Hiring of new employees and keep the remaining ones they have is a struggle. The remaining staff are trapped there by circumstance or don't feel as if they are worth more. The breakdown of healthy internal communication is another contributing factor to the decline of ICS. Management is either inept or overloaded with work preventing them from doing their main function. Which is to provide support, and management to their staff in a healthy manor. Stop demoralizing the remaining staff you have left. Important information is rarely documented or shared until it is too late. This has resulted in tasks and project work being rushed or "completed" improperly. As stated in a previous post the company has a habit of using clients as testing platforms for technologies that are not fully vetted or understood. This needs to stop.
