Pros
- Aggressive market analysis of products, opportunities, and the best place to be putting the companies resources. The company has shifted gears in the past few years to really focus on what would be the most lucrative use of assets. It is a bit frenzied right now as they try to succeed at new endeavors but hopefully new management and upper level leadership will focus efforts. - Intense work environment - free-loaders need not apply. EV also follows a structured quarterly coaching system between managers and employees. The system is good for making sure that there is transparency around expectations. Employees who consistently exceed expectations are put on the radar. Low performers or employees who have behavioral issues are given clear feedback to course-correct. Those who are doing a good job but maybe aren't superstars can generally expect good bonuses and possible yearly raises. - There are a ton of enrichment programs that are added bonuses to life at EV. Yoga, free food, nutrition seminars, picnics, parties on holidays, company gym, etc. Also very progressive and accepting environment. No complaints from an employee support/quality of life standpoint.
Cons
- Low pay for entry level positions but high expectations of entry level hires. - Salaried employees are often worked to the bone and that seems to be expected. - Legacy products still paying the bills don't get enough support, but regardless, everyone expects wine from water. - No stock options yet or 401k matching, but very good benefits otherwise.
