Pros

Some really nice people, Evalian has some really great stars in the company which is testament to the service they deliver, kind, hard working and professional people. Dedicated teams who will all support each other. Lots of room for development and opportunities. Amazing diversity, really impressed with this. Salaries are about right. Friendly and fascinating CEO

Cons

(Please understand the below comments are my experience, the company isn't that old so things will likely change as they grow) There is certainly an underlying culture of fear and you will certainly be called out for mistakes, rather than constructively improving your knowledge and experience. sadly a facade of willingness and a nice company on the exterior but certainly not operationally and a lack of care and respect to their employees 'its all about the customers' I was told and this rings very true. Micro management on steroids- very much do as I do, not being treated as a competent adult 9am meeting every Monday which has little to no real value, In a nutshell staff were told 'its to see if everyone is ready to work' rather than the official message of collaborating , this would be much more effective as a managers meeting and teams feed to managers. instead its an hour of the whole company saying what they did last week, in reality it has no benefit to the staff yet no one dare say this without being called out and isolated. Massive disparity in terms of how managers treat their staff. Company is far too Director heavy Not willing to listen to ideas or improvements that are outside of the mould. The feeling that key staff are looked after where as the rest are disposable if needs be. overhearing recruitment process 'we will see what they are like and get rid of them if no good' - This dosen't make existing staff feel valued. During my time some incredible key staff left because of these issues. If you have been told something by staff and management hear its a 'name names' environment. You cannot be yourself or feel relaxed sadly.

Pros

Leaving, knowing I will never see or face any of these people ever again and step into that office ever again.

Cons

At the beginning of my employment I thought I had made a good choice by accepting a role, but within a few days I could see this was a huge mistake and I was sold a pipe-dream. I don’t have many regrets or feel like I have made many past bad choices in life, but this company is one that will haunt me forever. Honestly, I wish I never worked here. My first few days I was made to feel welcome by having calls and meetings with different people from the different teams (both in-person and remotely) and I got a bad feeling from a few office based staff and my gut was right. There are people in this company who are willing to throw you under the bus, make you look bad and incompetent and do all they can to get you out the door. This also includes lying about other people to save themselves from being sacked and playing the part of a grieving victim. Management are narcissistic, toxic and flat-out bullies and have zero issue personally going after you and making your life hell. The “positive” reviews are primarily from those who work in the offices, so are naturally going to say nice, wonderful and progressive things, however, from what I saw with my eyes, and heard with my ears I will never say anything nice about this place. As soon as I left I gained my smile and happiness back and knew that was a good decision for my long-term health.

Pros

People sometimes say when you are considering moving employers that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. In my experience they are wrong. I joined Evalian just over 16 months ago, Moving away from a 35 year career in banking and finance to a new career in data protection advice and consultancy. The best move I ever made. I can honestly say the company itself and the people I work with have been great, they are above all welcoming, helpful and considerate. They look after their employees, and they care about them. They are very open and transparent on the company's performance and excellent progression which is also a really refreshing thing to see. I would recommend Evalian to anyone as a great company to work for, with excellent career progression and really great people to work with!

Cons

None at all. They are a great company.
