      Pros

      Open (no cubicles) atmosphere, and friendly co-workers.

      Cons

      ER has among the lowest paid tech employees in Bellingham, routinely hiring full time full stack developers in the $50k range, which in my opinion is exploitation. That was the going rate more than a decade ago. I've been onboard for a while, and I'm scared to reveal much here in fear of reprisal from HR and management, which can be pretty aggressive. Management always has some silly explanation about salary, citing their pay algorithm, that the job comes with flexible work hours, or that they offer a great family oriented atmosphere. That is frustrating and behind the scenes very demoralizing. Some reviews on here mention competitive salaries, which just doesn't make sense, and makes me question if those reviews are real. During official functions and events everybody puts on their happy face, but behind the scenes there is a group of us pretty upset. And it doesn't appear that things are getting better. We have expanded significantly in the last few years but still we are hiring new devs at around $50k/year, even thought the average national starting salary for entry software dev is $85k base and there are plenty of companies in the area who hire at $65-$75k base, with a few even higher. I realize that take home pay is just one part of a job, but at ER the lack of fair compensation is out of hand and out of touch with Washington's high tech talent and needs.

      Thank you for your feedback. In July of this year, we implemented a new salary system for our Software Development team called “Tech Tracks”. This system allows developers to work with their managers to identify both technical and professional goals and training to expand their skills and contributions. The Tech Tracks allow developers, who successfully complete their track plan, to move through pay steps in a clearly defined and systematic way. Our entry-level Software Development Engineer I starts at $57,511 with our SE II and SE III positions starting significantly higher. This rate has been in place since March 2018, when we completed our most recent analysis of Software Engineering wages in Bellingham. If you have any questions about the pay structure, we openly invite you to come talk with Human Resources or your immediate supervisor. We believe that we do hire the best and it is our goal to have individuals who are paid within the market and are motivated by the work we do to support fire and EMS first responders.

      Pros

      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!

      Cons

      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.
