Pros

I worked with some of the smartest people I know during my time at Evolytics and had the opportunity to work on projects I enjoyed. It was also nice to have access to quality snacks.

Cons

Everyday I worried I was going to be belittled, yelled at, or embarrassed by leadership and certain colleagues. Extreme micro management also made it an uncomfortable environment to work in. For being an analytics company, they should know how to utilize data to ensure employees aren't constantly overworked. Late nights and early mornings are a common practice because work is constantly promised to clients without checking if it is a realistic timeline first. If billable (client) work is available, that is prioritized at all times over doing work to help the employee grow or develop new skills. There is a lot of employee turnover, with most people not lasting more than a year. Those who succeed are those who are comfortable in a cutthroat environment. The attitude by management is that "Evolytics is the best place to work and everyone who works here is SO privileged to get to work for us.” Evolytics has the potential to be a great place to work, but there needs to be serious cultural changes (including actually delivering on promises, listening to feedback, and deflation of egos) in order for that to happen.

Pros

Here are some things I enjoyed about the Evolytics recruiting and new hire onboarding processes: - It only took two days from interview to offer process - thumbs up!!! - The offer letter and benefit documents were really informative. - HR Team and my new manager kept in contact with me while I was making my decision and after I accepted. - The background check was so smooth - not difficult at all - they have their act together. - The HR person called me as soon as I was clear for hire and she sent me a checklist to help me prepare for my 1st day with the company - the document provided information for the 1st day, 1st week, 1st two weeks, 1st month and who will be training me. - First day with Evolytics: It was a great welcome to the company and organized which I enjoyed. All new hires are welcomed with an awesome breakfast and meet & greet (All Evolytics employees joined me and told me a little about them). I really enjoyed my 1st day at Evolytics! - Great culture at Evolytics!

Cons

In terms of cons, I wished I had more time to make my employment decision as I had multiple offers on my plate and it was a little rush - I needed more than two weeks.
