Pros

Benefits are some of the best in the industry

Cons

"Flat culture" they say, could be ideal in a smaller org, but here it has only led to 0 leadership on the floor. Seasoned employees come in late, take 2 hr lunches, key projects fall weeks & months behind with no consequences. No training, no on boarding, you have to figure it out yourself. No work life balance, you are expected to work 50+ hrs a week, expect to have meetings scheduled on your lunch break.

ICE acquisition is destroying a great company.

Pros

Employee pay and benefits can be good, assuming you can get transitioned over to one of the ICE teams that has a future. There are still many smart people in development and QA, and if you have a good idea, it is possible to drive to through to implementation.

Cons

The ICE acquisition has led to 50% staff cuts, in many cases people are being fired from NY or Chicago so they can be re-hired in Atlanta at less salary. They're loosing lots of financial experience, and expect to operate as normal. In addition, the Atlanta office is very secretive -- they will seldom call or email the "Branch" offices in NY and make bad decisions with their limited information. Dissenters who speak up are quickly fired.
