Pros
I started at eventcore– a great company with everything I wanted; work from home, little-to-no phone interaction, good pay, super flexible schedule, and wonderful coworkers.
Cons
Eventcore merged with two other companies to become "Stova," a name SO terrible, they took weeks and months of marketing meetings to come up with, and was explained to be a portmanteau of "standing ovation." After THAT disappointing rebranding reveal, it only took five seconds of Google searching for some of us to learn it's already a word, and it means "room, parlour, office," etc. They didn't even Google their own name before taking it on. That level of work-to-incompetence should have been a red flag for what we would be moving forward. I was laid off with about 50 other people, with no warning, on a Monday. (Worst way to lay anyone off, but they apparently didn't know this.) It was AFTER a Friday where we helped clean out and shut down an office we no longer needed, and many of the employees got to meet for the first time over lunch. None of them were aware that it would be their first and last meeting, or they wouldn't have bothered to help. Once we were told (in less than five minutes, again with no warning,) that we were laid off, we were immediately kicked out of every system, including chats, preventing us from saying our goodbyes to each other. Eventcore was a great company to work for. Stova? Not so much.
