Pros
Great health insurance and they offer diversity days and floating holidays
Cons
My time at Evoque, marked by low pay, stagnant growth, and a sudden change in direction, has been disheartening. My company was purchased by Evoque for our cloud infrastructure expertise, the company seemed promising until a new CEO's arrival.
Despite opportunities to secure significant contracts, especially at the DC AWS summit with the Department of Defense, Evoque shifted focus. The billions invested in data centers took precedence, leading to a move away from cloud infrastructure. The recent merger with Cyxtera, a company in bankruptcy, added to the uncertainty.
Laid off without notice and offered only two weeks of pay, my plans, including a scheduled surgery, now hang in the balance. Living with pain and jobless, I've realized Evoque's lack of empathy and regard for its employees.
To complicate matters, Evoque opposes remote work, insisting on a return to offices. This rigid stance disregards the evolving work landscape, making career transitions even more challenging.
In sharing this, I hope to shed light on the struggles faced by professionals in similar situations. Evoque's decisions have left me disillusioned and uncertain about the company's commitment to its employees' well-being.
