Pros

The managers and team members are always willing and available to help you if you have work-related questions or issues.

Cons

This is not a Monday-Friday 9-5 gig. It is also not really a legal or tech position. I appreciated the flexible hours as I am a self-motivated person. However, I feel they take advantage of employees by not giving clear working hours and instead measuring performance through a target, which for me is far unattainable within 40 hours per week. 70-80 hours per week were realistic working hours for me in this role, which is not how they described the role in their job listing. I had to work late nights and weekends every single week that I worked here to try to keep up with their target. Many team members would also regularly struggle to keep up with the heavy workload, making it impossible to achieve a healthy work-life balance. In this role I was hoping to gain both legal and AI professional experience. However, that is not really what this role entails. This role is 90% summarizing medical records. I was regularly expected to get through thousands of pages per day which included indiscernible doctor's handwriting and medical terminology which I was not familiar with. There was no real legal aspect involved in this role. The "AI tools" provided by the company do not actually make the work any easier or faster. On several occasions, management discouraged me from using any of the AI tools at all, and to instead rely on myself to summarize thousands of pages of medical records. The technology at this company is not "cutting edge", rather, it is completely unreliable and for me was entirely useless. Training is incredibly overwhelming. Many people were fired during training. In order to keep up, I was forced to work all night every night. I did not sleep for the first several weeks in this role. Completely unreasonable expectations.

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.
