Incompetent HRs - Senior Software Engineer Intercontinental Exchange Employee Review

A very distinct culture of gritty, brilliant individuals. Very generous compensation. Lean org structure with access to the senior most leaders.

Not a company for those who aren't self starters. You will thrive here if you are diligent and independent.

The company has good benefits and, for now, free breakfast and lunch in one building. Nice gym in HQ.

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.
