Pros

-The people are 100% the reason people stay at EVERFI for as long as they do. No doubt the best employee base you will ever have the pleasure of working with. -Casual workplace with fun events that happen in the DC office

Cons

-Co-founders are too involved in make huge company changing decisions, but aren't involved enough in the day to day operations to make those decisions strategically. -CEO pretends he loves transparency, but goes about every meeting like he's leading a pep rally and just rambles or hops over any of the negative things happening in the company. -Rest of the exec team tip-toes around the co-founders and CEO afraid to stand up for anything and let's not well thought out ideas/re-orgs/promotions get put in place. -It's not uncommon to see people that work closely to the co-founders skip from manager roles to VP roles, the favoritism is INSANE and despite the millions of reviews that say that it continues to happen. -"Yes" people get significantly further here than people that openly voice their opinions and ideas. -I have a feeling the management is writing positive reviews on here after every negative one that comes in.

Pros

love the team I worked with, I learned so much from them.

Cons

Only some people received bones at the time. There was a pay cut after I got laid off in April 2025 for the rest of the staff.
