Pros

It's a fully remote company, it has good pay and benefits, you have an office stipend, and overall the work was challenging and productive.

Cons

When you're hired, they don't tell you that your 2-week training is probationary. So if they don't feel like you're doing well, they will fire you without any heads up. I was a part of a new training regime. The Learning & Development team all give you a false sense that you're doing well, but you're blindsided when they tell you "you aren't a good fit". During training, they tell you to "drink some water, touch some grass, make sure you have a healthy work-life balance", but they don't tell you that you will work extremely late hours to get the work done that they assign while you're learning. There is also an assessment, and they say "it's not a fireable offense to do badly on the assessment, but it helps us know how people are retaining information from training," which is a lie. Additionally, a lot of assessment is subjective. So you can answer it correctly, but if it's not their version of correct, you get it wrong. They let go of several of us who were willing to learn, improve our skills, work late hours, and work on producing the numbers they wanted to see, but they're worried about QUICK production, so they don't want to continue to put in the time and effort to train like they said they would. They don't even give you the opportunity. They brag about it being a people-centered company and how they've hired over 150+ people in Q4 and now have 310 employees in under 2 years, but you are just. a. number. Please know that if you are leaving a job to work at EvenUp, and you aren't 100% sure you can quickly learn their portal, understand the AI, pass the assessment, and produce high numbers quickly, they will fire you without any warning. There is also no consistency in the demand reviewing process, so different reviewers will tell you different, contradictory things, and you won't know what is right. On top of that, training does not reflect the demand creation process. You will have to essentially UNLEARN what you learned in training. You will also get assigned extremely difficult cases early on. Honestly, knowing what I know now and how they handle letting people go, the whole atmosphere feels slimy and is exactly what people warn you about when it comes to corporate America.

Pros

I genuinely enjoyed many aspects of working at EvenUp. I had the opportunity to work alongside incredibly talented, supportive colleagues who were passionate about their work and committed to helping clients. The mission is meaningful, and there are many people throughout the company who truly care about making a difference. Pros: Talented, collaborative coworkers, supportive teammates and managers, benefits, flexible hours.

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience ended with an unexpected layoff that was not preformance-related, which made the outcome especially difficult to reconcile with the positive feedback I had received. While I recognize that companies sometimes have to make difficult business decisions, the experience highlighted how little job security employees may have, even when they are performing well and contributing to the company's success. It also appears that an increasing number of positions are being outsourced to overseas countries, which is leading to loyal North American based employees being pushed aside for cheaper help. The decision itself was disappointing and had a significant impact on morale. It was difficult to see dedicated employees leave despite their contributions. Additionally, the company lacks alignment in terms of their own knowledge base and scope of work, which makes it difficult for anyone to maintain a consistent work flow and end product. Cons: Limited job security, lack of transparency around workforce decisions, morale can be affected by unexpected organizational changes, some jobs are being outsourced to overseas countries, lacking work-life balance, easy to get burnt out.
