Pros
There is really nothing positive to say about Early Warning
Cons
No employee is treated with any amount of trust, respect, or potential that they deserve. Be sure you negotiate a salary and benefits package that you'll be happy with FOREVER, because once you start, it's unlikely to change. The management will make every excuse to postpone reviews, deny pay raises, and imply that you should just be thankful to work for Early Warning. If you happen to exceed expectations, it goes completely unnoticed (and will not come up in a review)...however if you happen to violate one of the hundreds of sacred policy (No matter how unintentional it may be, and despite all of your good intentions), you will be endlessly reprimanded for it. And because many of the policies are unclear, undocumented, and arcane, it's very easy to step into a policy violation beartrap, and when you're reprimanded, you may not even be told WHICH policy you violated, or given a course to remedy the situation! Management refers to this as a "Structured work place", which is really just innuendo for "Micromanaged from the top down." I do not believe management is as interested in maximizing their workforce as they are controlling them with an iron fist. The senior management imposes these policies on all employees, however the same managers who drum these policies into your head are the same ones who ignore them when they feel it's inconvenient to do so. Inter-departmental communications suffer because of these policies, because employees are forced to endure the inefficiency of the communications policy or circumvent it entirely and hope management doesn't notice. This causes employee-management tensions because directors do not see these policies as part of the process, simply because they can cherry-pick which policies they can ignore. The arrogance and blatant disregard for the mental health and life/work balance of employees is a major reason morale is low. It truly is a horrible pace to work.
