The company has always felt lost and engaged in constant change. That was doable because Evercommerce was people centric and the work life balance was great. It's very important that people understand that this company barely resembles the company mentioned in reviews before mid 2024. In Dec 2023 when the people team told all managers in a company wide meeting that pay doesn't motivate and everyone is replaceable, that was some real foreshadowing.
A transform and optimize effort was launched. There are less resources, increase in work to do, people have been laid off with little severance, compensation packages for new employees are shrinking, there is much less career growth opportunities to gain people management experience, and we have had a significant reduction in benefits, perks, and an increase in the cost of our benefits. Many here are working in a state of constant anxiety, overload, and disappointment. People are actively leaving and it is a domino effect. Morale is very low.
This is pitched as streamlining to benefit our customers. All this really sounds like cost reduction for Wall Street or because the company is in major financial trouble. Either way, there is not much in this organization to recommend to a person looking to work at Evercommerce. I haven't seen one legitimately beneficial thing done for employees that hasn't come from direct managers fighting for it since I've worked here. Many of those managers have been let go or are so scare or burnt out that they are leaving. There has been a lot of tone deaf angling to tell you why everything is good for you though. I could see them stabilizing things in a year or two if they become more profitable. For now, you are taking a critical risk joining this company.
