      Not a Good Career Opportunity - Anonymous employee Evernym Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of in-the-clouds dreamers at Evernym. Sometimes that’s a good thing, most the time not.

      Cons

      If you’re a developer or engineer looking for a stable new job, my advice would be to keep looking. Evernym is not a good career launchpad. The CEO has no former experience in the industry, which tells you what kind of qualifications you’re dealing with. The bed-time story of turning the world’s identity management systems upside down sounds great, but Evernym is unrealistic about its part in the story. They manage too much by hopes and dreams, not by sound business principles. Fair Warning.

      This same anonymous reviewer shows up every couple of months to sling some mud on us. See our responses to his/her older posts. Two quick things we'll say again here: 1. Our 'dreaming' is paying off in a huge way, we're now working closely with the biggest brands on earth and several governments who believe we've solved the identity problem. 2. It's a good thing, not bad, that our CEO doesn't have experience in the old thinking of identity, where the innovative thinking necessary for change is unlikely to emerge. And our employees LOVE working for us, not one of them regrets the choice to join us, it's easy to find ANY current employee and confirm this. Too bad GlassDoor doesn't have a better way of confirming who people are before allowing them to make disparaging comments.

      Pros

      - Smart, supportive team. You won't find better people than the team at Evernym, period. - Small company with very approachable leadership. It's easy to get to know basically the entire company. - Huge potential upside. Evernym really does have the potential to change the world, and reap the monetary benefits that come with that. - Interesting work. The work here is fun and challenging. - Can't speak to full time employee salaries, but for an intern the pay is competitive. Other Notes: Evernym really isn't a blockchain company in my opinion, and that's a good thing. Blockchain is the least interesting part of Evernym's business. Also Timothy Ruff isn't the CEO anymore so I'm not sure why he's still listed. The new CEO is Steve Havas.

      Cons

      - Working for any startup is a risk. The potential rewards are worth it, in my opinion, but this will depend on individual circumstance and how risk averse you are. - Engineers can be very busy, particularly around release time.

      Pros

      Evernym has a great story

      Cons

      Unfortunately, it's just that - a story. I enjoy the people I'm working with but as far as a career opportunity is concerned, it wasn't a good move looking back in retrospect. I wish I had taken another opportunity I had at the time. The leadership for Evernym has not made good on all the hype and promises they used to entice me and others to join the company. I don't see the revenue growth or traction that was promised. Management is not realistic about the business opportunities, and I'm now convinced they don't know how to focus on and monetize the best opportunities. They'll take anything from anybody, which has everyone running in circles. Complete dysfunction and chaos. No discipline, no roadmap, no focus.

      Sigh.... It is messy introducing revolutionary technology to the world, but contrary to what this reviewer wrote, we are now in an enviable position of leadership in what will be a trillion-dollar industry of identity, trust establishment, and trusted peer-to-peer interactions. We have always shared our grandest ambitions with prospective employees because they truly are our ambitions; and we have not strayed from them, despite many opportunities to do something easier, something safer. If you want to work for a conservative company that's not trying to literally change the world, Evernym is not the place to be. As for dysfunction, ask any Evernym employee if that is true and listen to their answer. Hectic yes, even chaotic at times as we're grappling with extraordinarily complex technical challenges and decisions, but not dysfunctional. What we've accomplished in 2017, both technically and market traction, is breathtaking. As for the lack of a roadmap... no one has a map of uncharted waters. But if you look at where we've come from, where we are, and where our current trajectory of customer traction leads, any objective measurement would show that we have plotted our course extremely well.
