Very negative atmosphere

Pros

Employees who worked for our company before ICE acquired it are great to work with. Lots of team spirit (before we were acquired). Fairly easy to move between departments to find the right fit. Big name that's easily recognizable (NYSE).

Cons

When ICE acquired us, they completely destroyed our company culture. We lost everything that made us unique and became cogs in the ICE machine. Then they decided to fire (almost) everyone and close our entire office. Work/life balance is non-existent. Management constantly talks about transparency while providing absolutely none.

Pros

- NYSE is an iconic brand - good compensation - new office space

Cons

- zero communication from management - do nothing to invest in training or career development - the culture is work hard, long hours, little recognition - flat titles and constant cost cutting makes it difficult to be promoted

Pros

Great total compensation package if you stay on for over three years. Stock grant is particularly attractive as stock value keeps increasing.

Cons

Mind numbing boring repetitive work. No chance to move to a different job or advance in career. They hold you hostage with the three year vesting schedule of stock grants.
