Pros

- Above average pay - Good people, though not appreciated - Good benefits - concierge, free coffee/ fruit, employee events are fun/have free booze

Cons

- Way too many former bankers - Pet projects/structures waste resources - Little to no operations training/staff Early Warning is a good company with potential, but bankers seeking to create a Fintech are failing. We receive no training for assisting clients, and don’t have the staff to handle them. Too many re-orgs to our process. A new CEO keeping the old executive team, who are all bank people, and expecting them to build something new, isn’t working. The executives allowed Early Warning to fall behind, and now they suddenly have vision because a new CEO tells them to? We were restructured twice in 2 years, with staff reductions. Clients want help getting products to work with technology 15 years old. They aren’t concerned with ticket times.

Pros

Really solid company. Good high level leadership and the best culture ive seen. Runs like a start up so lots of opportunity for impact. Growth is everywhere and theyre supportive of continuing ed. Culture varies by LOB. I work in Paze and cannot speak to Zelle or Certos.

Cons

This is silly but I cannot stand the work laptops. Small little windows machines.

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.
