Pros

Huge industry. Smart and talented colleagues. can't think of much else

Cons

Since we were bought out by ICE I have yet to see anything improve at all, the only changes we've had are negative. Vending machines have been removed right after ordering return to office. All facility repairs were halted (including a bathroom faucet that didn't work for multiple months and elevators trapping employees) While migrating campus ordered return to office 5 days a week. The office they bought is a giant faraday cage so their is no reception. Employees were flat out forgotten at the old building. Part of the "reasoning" for return to office is Jeffreys "feelings" about collaboration. They then shuffled us all away from our actual teams during the migration so i don't sit with a single person who is on my team. WHAT COLLABORATION? The biggest con of all is that the person who runs this company is a terrible human. fiddling in the government and married to an alleged fraudster. Black Knight was the better business. ICE are leeches.

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.
