Old School Finance Business - No Room to Grow or Change - Anonymous employee Intercontinental Exchange Employee Review

This company desperately wants you to think from the outside that it's a hip, modern tech company. It's not. Old tech stacks. Old school mentality in every facet. The company had its best years/quarters ever while everyone was working from home but are forcing everyone back to the office right now despite the vast majority don't need to be there and don't want to be. This is reflected by people leaving in record droves. Top this off with everyone getting an insulting ~2-4% raise or at least well under inflation this year. Again, best years ever preceding this and a finance company that is well aware of inflation and this is how we were treated. The work is soul sucking. There's no room for creativity or change. Internal growth is nonexistent unless you're at the very top where they seem to shuffle execs around every few quarters. DE&I is nonexistent and the company is doing nothing internally as far as I can tell to combat climate change... despite ESG being a big push externally. But sure, make everyone keep commuting and use big NYC/Atlanta offices. That's great for the earth. If you're the type of person who enjoys showing up to the office, making friends with your desk mates, while doing minimal effort to get by but LOOK like you're a busy office worker, this is the place for you.
