This is a culture of micro-management and distrust, and leadership by fear. It doesn't matter when you've bent over backwards and put in the hours to move the company forward and your effort/success yesterday is soon forgotten. The environment is beyond toxic and you can see it in the tight smiles in the hallways and the look of near panic of many faces.
They do not like to pay because they have a big problem with cash flow and even bring up the high cost of payroll during quarterly rallies (bizarre). Many people with fancy titles make appalling money. Keep in mind the benefits are also very expensive. No 401K match and health benefits are atrocious - the most expensive I've ever seen.
ICE pays very close attention to Glassdoor and strongly insists their employees post positive reviews. They do the same thing when surveyed for "best places to work in Phoenix". It's all bs.
The individual at the very top insists on tracking all employees by auditing badge swipes in and out of the building (makes sense for the call center staff but not managers, engineers, account managers, etc). Never mind how much time you actually put into work between office and home. Highly insulting and demoralizing to be treated like a child.
You are never trusted and respected and they expect you to be willing to put in 60-80 hours without any real appreciation. There are so many more examples but it comes down to this: Unless you're in sales and/or just need a paycheck, stay away from ICE. There are so many other better places to work and they act like there isn't.
