Pros

Good compensation. Good Stock plan.

Cons

Work from home allowed only on weekends and after-hours to support issues. No Work/life balance. Promotions are for a select few not based on merit. Training/Tuition reimbursement is not offered. A few years ago CEO Jeff Sprecher made a Freudian Slip - during a conference call with the entire company he said he wished he could have all ICE employess toiling away as his slaves. After NYSE acquisition there will be massive layoffs (2000+) in New York.

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.
