U dont matter here - Operations Intercontinental Exchange Employee Review

Pros

Very easy to get a job here on account of the high turnover. Disregard the requirements and apply if you badly need a job. You’re pretty much guaranteed a job on account of the lack of people willing to work in these conditions.

Cons

Low pay for comparative skill level at other companies. Lots of stress that waterfalls from upper management all the way down to you. All the managers are yes-men, so dont expect anyone to stand up for you. Everything you do or say is a potential issue that you will need to defend your self against if management asks. If you want to last long here you basically have to do the opposite of your job, pretend you didnt see a alarm, dont answer the phone, NEVER take a proactive approach to an issue. The less you can do (without getting noticed for under performance) the more likely you are to last.

Pros

A very distinct culture of gritty, brilliant individuals. Very generous compensation. Lean org structure with access to the senior most leaders.

Cons

Not a company for those who aren't self starters. You will thrive here if you are diligent and independent.

Pros

The company has good benefits and, for now, free breakfast and lunch in one building. Nice gym in HQ.

Cons

The company is very inflexible and absolutely does not tolerate remote work in any capacity. Even if you are the only member of your team in the office and could easily be remote, you will be required to be in office to take Zoom calls. In general this matches with the company's overbearing culture and "eye of sauron"- like micromanagement. Some higher executives work remotely, but they have sweetheart deals that don't apply to everyone, so if you need flexibility look elsewhere. Atlanta, even in difficult economic times, still has plenty of competition that is much more flexible than ICE. The company location is surrounded by nothing, so while JP Morgan can mandate RTO in their accessible Manhattan office, the Atlanta workers don't have it so rosy. If the company would relent on in-office it would definitely improve, but the fact that they don't leads to high turn-over and is why so many H-1Bs are present: they can't leave as easily. The company aggressively controls your time with a badge dashboard so one day you will get an email out of the blue asking you about it.
