Pros

Cutting edge technology, staff is friendly, work environment is casual.

Cons

ICE just cut employees Equity Bonus. The deciding factor to work for ICE was the exceptional bonus plan (20% cash bonus plus 20% restricted stock bonus for a lower base pay) annually. They just stopped the stock bonus....now they are not exceptional but just like everyone else. I'm sure there will be people leaving in 2018. The "never work from home" policy was bearable when stock bonuses were being given out....now not so much. And they cut the stock bonuses right when their corporate tax rate drops to 21%. I think it's greedy.

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

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
