Svantaggi
ICE used to be a very good place to work, but has been going downhill recently. They no longer seem to value their employees and prefer to keep head count as small as possible. As a result, innovation is stifled because everyone is doing two or three jobs to fill gaps left by people who leave the company. Additionally, they do little to retain their top people, and will aggressively avoid compensating people who take on larger roles. This year ICE cut all equity bonuses while slightly raising our cash bonuses and sold it as an "exciting change", as if we couldnt do the math (we're fantastic at financial modeling). To make things worse, they did this retroactively in December. Many employees wrote HR and told their managers that they were unhappy with the change, but nothing was done. Lots of good people are heading for the exits.
