Pros

If you like gossip and back stabbing, this is your place ; and bonus if you always take credit from others work ...!

Cons

Some co-workers aren't nice and they like to gossip a lot. A few formed a group won’t share the project information and bully the others by excluding from communications and makes fun during the project scrum. Some days it will be extremely hectic and insane and they'll yell at you for seemingly no reason. The name of the game is favoritism. If you are a favorite you get the good projects, the promotions, and they "value" your opinion. If you are not a favorite, you only get redundant work; In fact in some cases, if you are more proficient then they target and isolate you! and they hide the fact and bad mouth you behind your back and make belittling comments in the team meeting. The list is endless. The worst company, by far, that i'v ever had to work for. They don't value as an employee. and approaching HR is like committing suicide.....they know their bullies! If you are of substance you will not be around to handle being around such low quality quality people. Zero work/life balance. Working here is like selling your soul to the devil!

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

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

Cons

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.
