Pros

Stipend for work station and unlimited PTO

Cons

The cons definitely outweighs the pros. The company does not have set work hours and claim to be flexible, but they set very rigid targets that will keep you on your desk from morning till night. There is literally no work life balance for drafters as they all work late into the night and into the weekends to meet unrealistic targets. The management is constantly gaslighting drafters and making it seem like the technology is efficient enough to achieve the targets (which they know is an absolute lie). Drafters at the end of day have to read through lots of pages as the annotations are usually off, and most of the time, drafters have to completely redraft the so called AI generated clauses. Main point being the technology is not there yet, so drafters have to manually do a lot. But the question is, why such unrealistic target? I understand the need to set the bar high so as to keep people on their toes, but why drive people to so much mental exhaustion and burn out with unrealistic targets!! At the end of the day, one thing is certain, Even Up management does not care for its legal drafters otherwise they would not subject drafters to undue hardships whilst gas lighting them with a technology that is nowhere near as efficient as management makes it. No wonder they keep losing people as quickly as they are hiring. The worst part is if you try to stand up for yourself, it’s almost like you get blacklisted and terminated. Conclusion: The company requires so much and gives so little. The pay and pros is not worth the sweat and blood, weekends, nights and general sacrifices you would need to make to be successful in this role. Join them at your own peril!

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.
