Pros

The Company was great and progressive when it was formerly Corpedia and then also acquired by NYSE. They valued their employees and their talent. There were great programs such as Wellness and company volunteer days.

Cons

Once ICE acquired and also had another new company merger affect the company and business, the culture became cold and chaotic. Holidays were taken away, and employee programs were also discontinued. The new management completely changed the vision and purpose of the original company, and then they closed the office and laid most of the people off.

Pros

Paid vacation time. Hopefully new owners ICE will fix the many things that need fixing.

Cons

Not enough employees and always the excuse not in the budget even when down people, rest of people have to make up work and place looks like walking dead. No direction from management and upper management turns blind eye despite numerous complaints and people leaving without jobs lined up. Poor management style, not people oriented and at times hostile in some depts.. Again HR and upper management turns blind eye despite numerous complaints. Building systems but not following through on fixing them , rather forging ahead with new ones while others languish. Could be good but not if fixed -again lack of people due to company being cheap. Too much work for amount of people in various departments, long hours, no time to eat lunch, no raises or even words of praise in years.
