Pros

- Remote flexibility (now gone) - Scrappy and focused team of ML engineers - Challenges really taught me to be flexible and roll with the punches

Cons

- Leadership places no trust, priority, or investment given to ML team whatsoever. It consists of no AI people and is ridiculously out of touch. Toxic and political environment. - Constantly demanding unreasonable turnarounds that cause long term, compounding damage to the team's ability to innovate. No serious investigation and resources allocated to identify and research scalable AI problems and solutions. - Compensation packages and updates so lackluster that it's actually laughable. Despite all of this EvenUp is removing remote work for new hires and managing out the original teams of engineers that got the company to where it is today. Combined with the fact that AI management keeps getting replaces, this is a serious indicateion that leadership is playing politics to mask their own incompetence and keep stakeholders appeased.

Pros

Not many at the moment.

Cons

My experience at this company has been characterized by an increasingly unsustainable workload that is systematically eroding employee well-being. I am currently witnessing a culture where aggressive, often unattainable quotas are the standard, effectively mandating nights and weekends to keep pace with operational demands. The internal environment is defined by chronic misalignment; despite the company’s focus on automation, the reality is a lack of clear, consistent processes that forces us to constantly perform manual, redundant work. This not only makes consistent workflows impossible but also leaves many of us on the edge of burnout. The most concerning aspect of the company, however, is the complete disregard for the people who build it. The leadership’s workforce strategy is shrouded in a lack of transparency that creates a climate of perpetual instability, where even high-performing team members are treated as disposable assets. It is deeply demoralizing to see dedicated, North American-based colleagues pushed aside in favor of outsourcing, a move that signals clearly where the company’s priorities lie. By continuing to prioritize rapid, volatile growth over the stability and quality of life of the people on the ground, the organization is creating a high-turnover environment that ultimately undermines the very success it claims to pursue. Silence regarding these practices only allows the cycle to continue, and I believe it is necessary to speak honestly about the reality of working here.
