Pros

Free/low-cost food. Great health insurance. I personally adore my direct manager, awesome person.

Cons

No reward for hard work (low raise, and even if you’re a hire performer during bonuses - your senior manager/director will say “well don’t have enough excellent ratings to give out so not everyone will get it even though I think you deserve it”). 5 days in office where you’re stuck in traffic for 4 hours out of your day. Horrible if you’re a working parent. Promotions will take a minimum of 5 years. If you have a family emergency, they are twiddling their thumbs on when you’re going to go back to office. It doesn’t matter what is going on, they do not care.

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.
