Pros

Nice office. Vacation/PTO is about standard for the area. Salary is close to standard for the area (I think), Tampa is just terrible for tech in general. If you perform you'll be one of the favorites (doesn't mean they'll pay you market wage, you'll just be liked and can get away with little things). It is a decent place in the Tampa Bay area to get started in tech. I know of a couple of successful engineers working at other companies who started at FW. It is a cool space to be in. Auditing, compliance, etc is just going to continue growing in the future.

Cons

The software is seriously outdated, it's not COBOL like the one post said, but the architecture is terrible for their use case. I can't even believe people use this when there are FREE alternatives that do the job better. Instead of fixing the issues the CEO decided to go for a new market... so FairWarning is no longer a leader in the category THEY CREATED in KLAS, which is patient privacy monitoring. The main issue with the software is there's a tremendous amount of technical debt and it's running on seriously outdated technology for the task it is doing. I think they've put themselves in a corner because they basically missed the "cloud computing" wave. Culture here is just a terrible facade. Culture means "work for less money than you should make". They aren't going to get or keep good talent with the ridiculous culture. The public shaming is very real. Some people have had to publicly apologize to the whole company (which was due to management oversight but management did CYA and threw their boy under the bus). The culture results in a ton of brown nosing suck ups and yes men working for the company. Some of Sr Management is really good and I'd say there's only 1 or 2 that aren't too good, it's mainly the mid-level managers and employees that brown nose terribly.

Pros

*Co-workers are tolerable and the job is easy(the pay is low) *Good location *Do not drug test *Hire people with no experience *also all the good reviews, is because the CEO makes his workers write reviews. pathetic

Cons

There is one BIG CON, The CEO is extremely rude. This is a private company, so you have to answer to him all the time. He is unavoidable and you will feel the negative presence he brings to the work environment. He is the main reason why I'm leaving, he has no regard for his co-workers and disrespects him like he owns them. If you want the experience because they hire people with no- experience ( bottom of the food chain) then do it and quit after a year. That's the best advice I can give you

We’re disappointed to hear you’re not thriving at FairWarning, this is not the case for most team members. We strive to provide a challenging environment and encourage you to speak with your manager if you’re not being challenged; this is a growing industry and there is always something new to learn. We are 100% unaware of anyone being made to write a review, whether it be positive or negative. We do encourage open and honest feedback which has in turn created some reviews on Glassdoor. Our CEO has an open door policy and encourages team members who have issues with him, or anyone else, to come and talk to him personally so things can be resolved. We encourage you to communicate your frustrations with your manager or the People Team so we can help properly address and potentially fix any issues you might be having.
