Pros

Surrounded by well seasoned employees, who have been with the company 20+ years.

Cons

Recently acquired our company. In the first town hall, the head of HR got on stage and said "We have 0 sympathy for those of you that are work from home." 2 weeks later, they laid off almost every remote employee who worked outside of a 50 mile range from either Jacksonville or Atlanta. Regardless of their talent or role contribution.

Pros

Health benefits are not worth staying

Cons

Review: After 10 years at Intercontinental Exchange, I've observed a decline in morale, innovation, and executive leadership. The introduction of C-level employees displaying misogynistic, sneaky, and narcissistic traits has jeopardized the company. Their focus on visibility and unnecessary changes puts us at risk of lawsuits due to discriminatory actions and harassment. Leadership tactics involve placing directors and managers in roles destined for failure, jeopardizing entire departments. Lack of transparency and inappropriate placement of unqualified friends may lead the company to failure.
