Unfortunate - Anonymous employee Early Warning Services Employee Review

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.

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

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.

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.
