Vantaggi

The good in Emergency Reporting lies in the connections with the clients and the community. ER is an active member of the Bellingham tech scene and services some of the most noble men and women in the country. Support is passionate and dedicated and the CEO is willing to listen. Work schedules and locations are pretty flexible. Benefits, coffee, etc are standard industry fare. SCRUM is implemented fairly well, but Agile principles are often forgotten.

Svantaggi

Emergency Reporting is an old company and it's felt in every department everyday. It's clear that it's going through a stressful transition. The future of ER is a gamble with the CEO, support, sales, 3rd parties and developers seeing the need for change. But the company is held back by pessimism and lack of conviction, particularly from dev managers. Pay is below industry standard, even for Bellingham. I believe a lot is tolerated because many devs have worked at ER since internships, it's all they've ever known. I worry that soon they will start looking for a fresh start. Corporate culture is fairly "traditional" which can often be stuffy and uncomfortable. The office is part cubicle and part open office. There is a treadmill desk, but people complain about the noise if it's ever used.

Thank you for your posting. Feedback of any type is always welcome, and we are grateful you took the time to share your thoughts. I would be happy to assist in addressing these concerns. As an Agile company, we value the “people over process” and can provide you with retro engagement, help from your manager or HR, or a 1-1 with me if you desire. As the CEO, I welcome opportunities to hear and discuss concrete workplace improvement ideas. I also want you to know we are listening. Today we moved the treadmill to a very pleasant room with nice windows. I did not realize that there were noise issues or we would have taken action sooner. Ed O’Neill, CEO

Vantaggi

Emergency Reporting is fantastic to work for. I've been here for about 2 and a half years now. I started working here as an intern from a local college and was hired before my internship was even complete. I was quickly given many great opportunities that lead me to the position I am in now. The people here are wonderful, everybody is super friendly and outgoing. The company supplies coffee, espresso, tea, sodas, sparkling water, snacks, and other items to keep us in tiptop shape to work happily and proficiently. There are many opportunities here between projects, personal growth and career opportunity. The location is great, we are moving soon and the new location is also great! The owners and CEO really try hard to make sure the culture of the company stays upbeat, happy, and productive! This is my first "big leagues" job being right out of college so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but if things stay as welcoming as they have been hopefully I wont have to!

Svantaggi

Biggest downside currently, which is being worked on by management and a few special project teams, is communication between departments. Lots of valuable time for certain projects has been lost with meetings that happened, but no action was taken from them. Nobody likes sitting in on a meeting that is all bark and no chase. There were a few struggles with senior management when they first joined too, but things have been getting much better as of recent. I can very much understand too, transitioning from much larger fast paced companies can be difficult when you join a smaller growing company and really push for excellence.
