Pros

First let me say that I really enjoy coming to work here everyday. I am going to list all the pros of why this is such a great work environment, I am also going to be honest about the cons, which they are some. Most importantly, the people they have hired are fantastic. FairWarning's extensive vetting process really pays off most of the time. When I come to work, I am happy to say that I partner alongside some truly great and loving people (yes there are some bad apples like anywhere else). I understand that this is a business, and we are getting business done, but at the end of the day, its about who you spend your time with, and I am very blessed to be surrounded by such great, intelligent, and hardworking peers. They constantly push me to be better, and I feel like they actually care about those around them. Second is the environment by management. Every company has a work hard play hard mentality, its not original. What I appreciate about FairWarning is how much they trust you, in the sense of the work day. They don't force you to work hard, they more expect it. On top of that when you're surrounded by other people who work hard, it becomes a company culture. They are very lenient with PTO, vacation, lunch, and work in general. There is no constant harassment. They trust you to be professional, and I really appreciate that. Again this is my experience may be different for other departments. The CEO, Chief Cultural Officer, and HR take the time to give back. This can be awesome leadership events, sending you to see Tony Robins, bringing in industry experts, and planning really fun outside work events. The CEO and CCO are genuine people, they care about you, and are even more fun outside of work. This is a private company, so if you aren't used to that kind of environment it may take some adjustment. To summarize, great people, great culture, and great executive leadership.

Cons

I can't speak too much to other departments, I'm in sales, but I have heard mostly good things from employees in other parts of the business. There has been a lot of change in sales, new management, new strategies, changes in structure. Don't get me wrong, the cloud security business has been doing great, huge growth last year. Especially since the Enterprise Vice President came on board to assist with the sales. He is definitely in the pros section. One of the most brilliant and genuine people you will ever meet. In terms of cons, the healthcare side is a slower more complex sales cycle, but the commissions are massive. The Sales manager is very organized, and has been at FairWarning in various roles. He can come off as intimidating, so if you can't handle public criticism this probably wont be the Sales environment for you. While I do respect him, I really wish he made more of an effort to connect with his team. Sometimes I feel as if he sees us as more of a sales tool, then valued members who he wants to see succeed and grow. Do you think employees who like their manager are going to work harder than those who only fear him? You have some really great people here, if you take care of them, they will take care of your customers better than ever, and make you look like a rockstar manager. Additionally lots of promotions were promised and hinted for sales but I have only seen two since being here.
