Early Warning Services reviews

It seems that the quality of your experience at Early Warning depends on the department you work in. During my time there, I met folks who were super happy with their position, manager, etc., and I met others who were absolutely miserable. My personal experience was pretty bleak. The culture and values are not applied consistently throughout the company. When it comes to work ethic, you'll find some folks who are happy to slack off without repercussions and others who work themselves to the bone to make up for it. When it comes to mistakes, poor decisions, or missed deadlines, you'll find some folks with integrity who will willingly say "that was my bad, I'll fix it" and others who will happily point their fingers at others or throw their teammates (or even their staff members) under the bus. The "pass the buck" mentality permeated multiple levels of management, and I personally saw a level of bullying and politics that drove talented, kind people out the door. I chose to leave because I worried that if I remained under such negative influences, I'd risk eventually becoming a worse person myself.

It all starts with the poor management team. A group of incompetent middle managers given positions of authority beyond their areas of expertise and abilities. They also engage in the most destructive political games that we have ever seen as some sort of defense mechanism. This was extremely apparent at a recent leadership meeting. We were all hopeful when the new CEO started but he seems to be unable to make the changes that are needed. Instead they bring in a group of consultants to tell us what we already know and then proceeds to focus terminations a layer or two down. Most of us who understand this and will be looking for new jobs and will likely jump at the next opportunity.
