Pros

M-Th catered lunches & dinner if you are lucky enough to grab the food before it's gone Stocked kitchen Paid benefits Great parties

Cons

VP/Director titles are handed to people who have never managed a team Execs keep preaching growth and culture with little to show Rounds and rounds of layoffs/ employees mysteriously resigning Most founding members in engineering have left Major churn in customers Current product does not work as promised to customers Puts all their eggs in 1 basket with the new product and hopes that it works, when the people who built it are fleeting the company everyday knowing that it's a lie Little to no experience handling immigration. HR in general should be looked into when there's 100% turnover Constant power struggle among departments, even up top between the CEO/President trying to push one another out Keeps referring themselves as the "category defining company" when it's a dime a dozen Great at throwing parties but it's Saas and not an event management company Great for fresh grads who want to drink beer, play with nerf guns, smoke e-cigs all day long and go to the gym mid-day...not so great for people who actually care about their career

Thank you for your post. We can agree that there have been 'pivots,' as there are with all start-ups. However, growing our community of customers and increasing revenues are positive signals of growth - and we are excited to continue this growth together as a team. Additionally, I want to thank you for your feedback about work life balance. Giving our team the time away they need to stay energized and engaged is important to us, which is why we introduced our Flexible Time Away (FTA) program toward the end of last year. I want to note that your turnover stats are quite a bit off the mark. I am sorry that your time at EverString has not been very good. If you are still with the company, please come over and talk with me and we will see if we can straingthen things out. - Scott Broomfield, COO/CFO

Pros

There is food and there is a fully stocked kitchen. Location is nice. the lower level employees are good people.

Cons

MANAGEMENT. I do not approve of the President or anyone reporting to him. There are many reasons that turnover is so high. The entire HR team left and many more are on their way out. I am searching for new employment. If you make any attempt to improve your work life, they will fire you. If you are not friends with the right people, they will fire you.
