Svantaggi
From my experience: pre 2017 – no previous years as option on Glassdoor Interesting to come on here and see reviews mirroring my feelings about ICE. Honestly, for a long time my experience with ICE impacted me considerably, it was a massive confidence blow that took time to build up again. I went from a high to a low fast & unexpectedly, it was bizarre, which being early in my career was hard to understand at the time. There was a lot of unhappy staff when I was there, this became apparent in my first couple weeks, I was taken back by the high staff turnover in such a short amount of time and in particular the treatment of some colleagues by managers/directors. If you openly voiced your feelings/raised concerns (in a reasonable way) limited time is left and trust me they will push, poke, and prod you. I was quite early in my career and new to this line of work, my role was entry level however I felt the guidance/training from management was poor and often left you feeling incompetent & humiliated. They were quick to openly highlight your missed opportunities or errors but any ideas of yours they used were not celebrated. This was a huge setback for me however thankfully I have since learnt that this is not common practice and there are respectful companies out there where you can flourish, learn, be rewarded, work autonomously in a trusted environment, be respected and have a life outside of work without being made to feel guilty. -No value to a work/life balance -Toxic/blame culture -Hypocrisy culture - zero action on the values they preach -Unrealistic expectations with very poor support and training (especially important when early in career) -Unfair workload distribution and highly controlled environment - Poor benefits, salary with the expectation to consistently work more outside of standardised hours.
