Pros

Good benefits, 401k match, work-life balance, name recognition.

Cons

What were once great companies have been rolled under the ICE umbrella and into ICE Mortgage Technology. Good culture is being destroyed in favor of heavy bureaucracy and top-down directives. Recent layoffs have helped seal the dying culture and with the continued downturn in mortgage-related business and a large upcoming acquisition, more layoffs will likely follow. Good people are leaving in droves while a hiring freeze is in place which is leaving those left behind to do more with less even though leadership says that's not what will happen. If there are any new hires, most are being hired out of India as the company continues to focus on its presence there to cut costs and corners. Focus on product improvement is almost non-existent and the company is instead focusing on continued price increases for existing customers who are struggling in the current environment.

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.
