Pros

The internal HR team, who are fantastic. They were always supportive and approachable, providing valuable assistance whenever needed. Additionally, the technical side of the company is excellent, with a strong focus on customers. The technical team consistently delivers high-quality service and ensures that customer needs are met efficiently and effectively.

Cons

This is my personal experience and may not apply to most; however, The office environment is full of toxic masculinity. From day one, I experienced a level of what they call, and I quote, "banterous bullying." The training started a week after I began, but I was on the phone on day four. I understand that sales environments can be very challenging; however, this took the cake. Again, this is my experience, and I want to reiterate that this might be normal for other people. However, when you start a role and see two employees in the office with shorts and t-shirts and the manager wearing a tank top and shorts, it does make you wonder about the level of professionalism the company has. Another issue for me was the complete lack of respect for women and others' personal lives. I won't quote the exact words, but the management had lengthy conversations about his sex life and what he ordered online for his activities. This was accompanied by questions about my personal life, which I was not comfortable sharing. Overall, this must be one of the most unprofessional environments I have ever worked in. I strongly hope this changes in the future as I cannot see the company growing with the sales team consisting of bigots and bullies.

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.
