Pros

SF office has a beautiful view

Cons

I’m usually skeptical about Glassdoor reviews, especially for companies with low ratings. When I saw that EWS had a 2.5 rating, I thought it might be misleading and not as bad as it seemed. However, after a few months at EWS, I can confirm the rating is spot on—it’s every bit as BAD as it looks. The salary is NOT competitive if you’re based in SF or NYC, and the benefits package offers nothing noteworthy. While there are some nice people and teams in the San Francisco office, overall, this is really just a company for people to pass through. The office is rife with politics, and many employees seem to be just going through the motions, collecting their paychecks without any real engagement or passion.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, interesting problem space if you like finance and big data. In-office requirements but many show up after 10 or leave before 3.

Cons

Around the time of my exit, two people in leadership were fired. In my professional career I've never witnessed a firing that felt more like a humiliation ritual. They were paraded around the office and through all-hands meetings to aid transition (presumably for a new VP installing their replacement of choice), with my direct leads acting incredibly two-faced. Wishing condolences to the faces of the newly departed, but celebrating behind closed doors. Really gross. This behavior would at least make sense if it were in service of a good technical vision, but in my ten years of experience I have truly never seen worse development standards. Rampant ego and inertia. Getting engineers to even use Git is like pulling teeth. Want to install Python 3.10.x instead of Python 3.11.x? Have fun waiting 2 months for approval. And the communication from the executive level is nausea-inducing. Rarely we hear anything that strikes at the core of these issues. Rather it is vapid platitude after platitude. And insistence on the adoption of core values that feel like a Temu version of Amazon LPs.
