Tough but rewarding - Anonymous employee EvenUp Employee Review

Tons of autonomy High pay Meritocracy

Long working hours Stressful environment

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.

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.
