Pros

Remote Stipend for home office Benefits

Cons

Quotas are too high Micromanaging AI is counterproductive Their expectations of what associates can do in a day is largely delusional. People can’t read thousands of medical records(not skim but read every page) and create two demands in 8 hours. It could be if the AI was anywhere as revolutionary as they claim it is. Unfortunately it is not. Using it for summarizing medical records is counterproductive since it makes things up and you must spend time trying to figure out if it’s true or not or it will just leave important things out which you cannot do since it is detrimental to the demand. Using it for other sections requires you to fill in all the information first. I’m still trying to figure out how that is supposed to save us time. What is so frustrating is they know how flawed their product is and how much tweaking and editing is required post generation (at least an hour) but they make no effort to solve the pressing issues. Like for example there’s one section that has been double generating for several months and makes us copy, paste, edit, delete, reposition, and they know it has been a problem yet they’re fixing other things like making a button more visible. I wonder if the developers and engineers are working 6 7 days a week 10+ hours a day like we are are just to meet the quotas. The other major flaw is the review process. Some reviewers (not all) treat each demand like they’re the prosecutor trying to dismantle your case and then you have to spend so much unnecessary time collecting your evidence to present to them to prove that you’re right. For example you can spend hours and hours going through all records and being sure what you did was correct but the reviewer will just say “i don’t think thats right. Go reread the records” even though it was right but they didn’t bother checking before giving you more work to do. There’s no accountability for the reviewers when they’re wrong. Drafters get rated based on our demands so should the reviewers based on their reviews. How is it fair for a reviewer to make you spend an extra hour or more fixing your demand only for someone else to say the new way is wrong and it should go back to the original. Not to mention how widely the reviewers expectations vary. One will tell you it should be this way, the other will tell you no it’s this way, the third will tell you it’s another way, and so on. I wish I could know which reviewer will be reviewing because I could adjust based on their preferences which would save me time. Overall most people are nice but the micromanaging is a problem. They seem to think micromanaging makes people work faster. In reality you’re just slowing us down. And if you don’t meet your quota you’re patronized and made to feel stupid and slow. Which is a horrible feeling but imagine how it makes you feel when you’re spending over half of the time you’re awake working and a quarter more thinking about work, having no social life, no time to cook clean take care of your family, just to be told you’re not doing enough and should be working faster. I don’t recommend this job to anyone. If you are unemployed and very desperate you can apply and do the training while you look for other jobs. This is not a permanent job. I would rather work a minimum wage job with an additional 20 overtime hours a week and I’d get paid more to work less hours and get to leave work without needing to think about it every minute I’m awake. I regret ever applying to this job. Now im stuck here because the quota I need to meet leaves me no time to update my resume apply to jobs and interview. And since they have taken away our “unlimited pto” I cannot take a day off. How is it possible for a company to say noone can take any pto for the next 6 weeks and possibly longer? That does not seem right. You are causing people to burn out and they will quit. We are not machines. It does make me think are the developers and engineers not allowed to take pto either during this time? That would only be fair.

Pros

"unlimited" PTO flexible work schedule

Cons

When I interviewed for the position I was told that the work I would be doing would be mainly proofreading and formatting. That is not true. The AI tool you are expected to use barely works and you will probably spend most of your time reviewing medical records and writing out the summaries yourself which makes it difficult to get your work done efficiently. You are expected to hit a weekly quota that is unrealistic. There were many times I was working late into the night and on weekends just to meet the quota. I had no social life. My team leader was very indifferent and I felt like I was bothering her every time I asked a question, but she would continue to assure me that I should ask questions. The reviewers I worked with were condescending and there was almost no uniformity on how they wanted final drafts to look. I would change my drafts based on the comments of one reviewer and then in my next draft, a different reviewer would tell me not to do those changes. I felt unsupported most of the time.

Pros

1. Great health benefits. 2. Fully remote hours. 3. Generous home-office stipend.

Cons

1. Inexistent work-life balance. 2. Overambitious projections. 3. Legal Operations Associates treated and expected to work like robots. 4. The AI component never worked. When I worked here, I had no moment of rest. If I wasn't pulling more than a 60-hour work week plus weekends, I was agonizing over the work I needed to catch up on. The training was not in any way adequate to meet up with the expectations when one qualifies and gets added to a squad. The job, though easy to understand, was terribly difficult to execute due to the unreasonable targets, the ever changing rules on formatting and the dumb luck of sometimes getting difficult cases to work on. These are not accounted for as EvenUp values quantity over quality but would always gaslight you about standards, formatting and quality. Unfortunately, due to the job settings, employees are unable to form real connections and actually share their challenges. I am not referring to the meetings arranged ostensibly to help but which ends up confusing you and making you feel like you are not good enough for a medical records summary job, because everyone has a different way of getting ahead. The Artificial Intelligence component is supposedly the selling point of EVenUp but I am sorry to break it to you that you are not walking into some futuristic job role that guarantees your place in a changing world. You will end up doing your medical summaries (because that is what it is) and other summaries yourself because the AI either doesn't pick the relevant information, it could hallucinate and give you information not contained in the documents you're working with or it just goes crazy and keeps repeating a sentence over and over. But wait... you must always serve quality and quantity in the same measure if you will survive the job. So you spend your day poring over hundreds of pages of medical files and sometimes, you don't stand up from 8am to 6pm but you still do not meet the target. If you are considering this job, only take it if you are unemployed and desperate, and have an exit plan. If for some reason it resonates with you, by all means enjoy it. I didn't have a good experience and I had withdrawal symptoms when I finally left.
