Pros

The trainers were nice. That's it. The office stipend isn't even a pro, considering you probably already HAD a decent home office if you were applying to a fully remote job.

Cons

This company is pitching itself as an “Iron Man Suit” for paralegals/legal drafters, and it’s really not. It’s a feudal estate full of hundreds of serfs (legal drafters, and they have given the serfs one busted Garden Weasel: a.k.a. their 'ai' demand generator, where 'ai' means "actively impeding", NOT 'AI', as in "artificial intelligence." The feudal overlords (management/squad leaders) then act shocked and incensed when the serf’s output is not, in fact, 900% - NINE HUNDRED PERCENT - more. That doesn't even pass the basic sniff test for AI productivity boosts based on MULTIPLE studies. Their solution to that problem is to add incessant nagging by squad leaders and management. Surely incessant nagging + busted Garden Weasel = 900% productivity boost, right? RIGHT?! (SPOILER: It only boosts attrition, not productivity.) AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE, unless you enjoy abuse while doing something that will FEEL, at worst, fraudulent and, at BEST, inefficient and incompetent. There is a REASON this place routinely has 200+ job postings for remote Legal Operations Associates (drafters), and it’s NOT because they are “a growing startup with rapid expansion.” It’s because it’s a horrible letter-writing sweatshop masquerading as software-as-a-service “ai.” People join, go through training, quickly realize it's a lie and bounce. In my training, several people asked, "How is this AI if we still have to review all the pages of the records ourselves and fix everything it got wrong?" On DAY ONE! LOL Also, I am guessing most of their customers are wholly ignorant about how their files are being handled. I think most would be livid if they knew how that demand-letter sausage was actually made.

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.
