Pros
I left a job and company that I loved in order to move home to Florida. Even during the interview process, I knew that FairWarning was different from most workplaces. The interview process is difficult and time-consuming but definitely worth it. I spoke with HR over the phone, spoke with the Managed Privacy Services manager over the phone, then met the MPS Manager, the Director, and the Chief Culture Officer. After that? I met with Kurt, the CEO, and received an offer shortly thereafter.
I work as a Privacy Analyst and I love everything about this position. FairWarning provides a great team/collaboration environment while fostering skills and drive in every individual employee to exceed their goals. I have my own list of customers that I support daily and I have been encouraged since day one to work on my own projects. If I think something can be done better or more efficiently, management is all ears and willing to listen to suggestions and make the necessary changes. I am always happy to come to work and I learn something new every day.
Management is great. I have never had a problem taking time off for a doctor's appointment or for car trouble. I had the flu and few months ago and everyone encouraged me to take some time off and recover. The PTO policy may sound strict but personally, I love having my PTO time and my vacation separate. It allows me to take the time I need when I'm sick and I know I will still be able to enjoy my vacation.
You'll hear a lot about the culture here and although it sounds cliche, it's anything but. Everyone here is 100% genuine and authentic. Our holiday party was awesome and a great way to show my boyfriend the amazing group of people that I work with. We also work with several charities throughout the year and celebrate most holidays together in the office.
Managed Privacy Services is growing quickly and I am looking forward to what the future holds for us. I couldn't ask for better management and I feel that the opportunities are endless. You must be motivated and willing to work hard but everything that you put in will be rewarded.
Cons
I have no complaints. Everything is great.
