Do not believe the stocked (FAKE) reviews by managers - I.T. Early Warning Services Employee Review

Pros

Early Warning pays a fair salary for the work you will put in and the company has many perks for such a disorganized company. There are one or two managers who actually care and are trying to change the company for the better.

Cons

Most of the upper management has egos that would make a psychopath look normal. You will be talked down to, you will be called out in front of others and you will be berated if you even dare to correct the CISO or the CIO when they have made a fairly innocent mistake. High turnover rate, even for C-level employees. High paranoia in the I.T. security department, so much so that it takes MONTHS to make any meaningful change to the network, applications, etc. The company is currently in the middle of a "civil war." The turnover rate has been high for the past two to three years and the C-level execs have finally caught on that the company culture is a toxic environment. The C-level execs have "mentioned" to certain people that they need to tone down the berating of employees and being outright condescending when speaking to the lower level I.T. employees. Really "big business" feel for such a small company. For instance, Early Warning has "values" that are supposed to be seen in every employee. I said "supposed" because if you are high enough in the food chain you can treat people like dirt and never have to worry about the "7 values" (which honestly is an outright joke and people tolerate these "values" to appease the higher-ups).

Pros

Early Warning has a great company culture with a strong mission, purpose, and growth trajectory! Our senior leadership and communications teams keep employees apprised of company news. There is solid work/life balance with the hybrid schedule and flexible PTO. Team members are smart, friendly, down-to-earth, and collaborative. The Scottsdale office is contemporary, modern, and centrally located along the 101. The culture committee does an amazing job with hosting fun employee events throughout the year. Employee benefits are very generous and comprehensive, especially with healthcare, PTO, and health/wellness offerings.

Cons

Depending on the position, the interview process can be rather lengthy or drawn out.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, interesting problem space if you like finance and big data. In-office requirements but many show up after 10 or leave before 3.

Cons

Around the time of my exit, two people in leadership were fired. In my professional career I've never witnessed a firing that felt more like a humiliation ritual. They were paraded around the office and through all-hands meetings to aid transition (presumably for a new VP installing their replacement of choice), with my direct leads acting incredibly two-faced. Wishing condolences to the faces of the newly departed, but celebrating behind closed doors. Really gross. This behavior would at least make sense if it were in service of a good technical vision, but in my ten years of experience I have truly never seen worse development standards. Rampant ego and inertia. Getting engineers to even use Git is like pulling teeth. Want to install Python 3.10.x instead of Python 3.11.x? Have fun waiting 2 months for approval. And the communication from the executive level is nausea-inducing. Rarely we hear anything that strikes at the core of these issues. Rather it is vapid platitude after platitude. And insistence on the adoption of core values that feel like a Temu version of Amazon LPs.
