Friendly atmosphere overshadowed by micromanagement and poor training - Anonymous employee Evergen Employee Review

Challenging work with great people and company mission.

I do not have any cons to share

The people that I worked with on a day-to-day basis (first-level management and below)

The positive reviews from June 2025 were part of an initiative within a certain department to raise the average review score, so they cannot be trusted. Ever since acquired in 2024, the company has lost more than 50% of their salary workers by means of layoffs and those scrambling to get out while they can due to leadership brick walling any sort of efforts to listen to their employees needs. Many leaving do not have alternate jobs lined up just to get out of the environment. Senior leadership's stubbornness to not maintain high-caliber talent hinders accomplishing any meaningful projects, leading to unmanageable workloads and getting berated by partners. Employees who were additionally in line to receive promotions now have to fight tooth and nail to get raises, and in some cases have actually been demoted, only to make way for those who have "potential" instead of actual experience for those elevated job titles. R&D seems to have no intention of actually trying to get new products to market - just protecting their short term monetary gains until the private equity company can sell the business again. A truly catalytic downward spiral of high stress levels and low morale. But don't worry, leadership's solution for this culture issue was to sterilize the work place by removing books and puzzles from the breakrooms, followed up with a self pat on the back.
