Pros

- This company has built a product with incredible product market fit that has allowed it to grow at an incredible pace - We've been able to attract world-class talent across functions making this a great place to learn - At this moment in tech there's a lot of startups doing layoffs, in cash conservation mode or trying to figure out how to stay around, we're very fortunate to be investing heavily in growth and product innovation. - We're actually mission driven. Yes some personal attorney ads may be a a bit cheesy, but at the end of the day, we're helping people often at one of the most difficult moments in their lives and we get a front row seat to see the results that we can get for them.

Cons

- We work hard. I don't know if that's a "con" so much as something anyone considering a role here should no. This is not a place to rest and vest or think you can sign off at 3 pm everyday. - I mentioned it's a great place to learn, a lot of that learning will be by doing. We don't have a lot of formalized learning and development. - Maybe the most common note on glassdoor but we're a startup so yes there's chaos. When you grow > 3X in a year, things break.

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.
