Pros
Generous at-home office stipend Fantastic health insurance options
Cons
Against my better judgment, I ignored the negative reviews and cheerfully accepted a job offer at EvenUp. My exact thought was that the negative reviews I read about were from people who were just lazy/didn't try hard enough, and boy was I wrong. First red flag was the interview process: I interviewed with my future "Squad Lead" who told me the interview was more of a "vibe-check" to see if you're a good fit. There were no thoughtful/insightful interview questions. The interview process alone should have been enough for me to steer clear, but it all seemed so enticing; exactly how they want you to feel. There is a huge issue with training (L&D). These folks are amicable for the most part, but often go on tangents about their personal lives, wasting valuable time for training. They go on these tangents in the middle of explaining complicated subjects, further diluting knowledge retention. I was a part of a group that were 'guinea pigs' for a new training regime, yet I have a feeling they are always changing things due to having massive kinks & pain points to work through. When you start working on live demands (within your second week of training), you should be prepared to unlearn everything you learned in training. You will get feedback that conflicts with everything you were just taught. Huge gaps to be addressed here, which ultimately is what will lead to you being unsuccessful in your role, because well, it's impossible! The examples they use to train you instill you with a false sense of what is to come. My first live demand was a mess. I met with my reviewer (25+ years of experience in the field) and they informed me that I should have never been assigned a case as complex as I was for my first round out of training. L&D (and HR) do not care, whatsoever. Save your breath, these folks are ruthless, painfully incompetent and have a severe deficit in people skills. Initially, the culture comes across as exciting and "ground-breaking." You'll feel like you're a part of something great, until you realize you're not. Again, don't take my word for it; use your own best judgement. But please, don't do what I did and ignore your gut! I would never recommend a place that operates like this.
