Pros

If you like a challenge, you will find plenty of those to keep you busy. The types of cases you will deal with are mostly motor vehicle collisions but you will also run into product liability, child abuse, and other cases that might get you fired up to draft a great demand regardless of the complexity of the type of claim. Also the insurance cost is very reasonable, which is nice. If the unlimited PTO were actually unlimited, that would be an awesome perk too.

Cons

I don't have the time to write all the cons but first and foremost would be they will outright mislead you during the interview process. I was concerned about work life balance but was led to believe that it would be like all the other jobs I have held during my legal career and I would be able to walk away at the end of the day most of the time. This was simply not honest. You will be working weekends unless you are one of the very few who can somehow meet the goal in five days or work (and sometimes less!). The amount of meetings you will have will have your head spinning. New technologies and expectations are added on what feels like an hourly basis. Good luck keeping up. And while you are learning those technologies and having those meetings, your goal is not reduced. You will just have to work more on the weekend. This job might be a great fit for some but for most I would recommend seriously paying attention to the red flags (including how many one star reviews there are on Glassdoor).

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.
