Pros
There are a lot of generally good (non- management) people here, even if they are buried under layers of stress and unhappiness.
Cons
I really wish it were different, but Everwise is a terrible place to work as an AE, SDR, or marketing professional. Are there any five star reviews left by AEs here? Not surprising. Almost no one is hitting quota, and the AE team has been the least supported out of any of the teams in this company. Leadership simply haven’t learned how to successfully scale the sales efforts, and leadership has also been terrible at providing training and resources to AEs, leaving the burden on their shoulders. The situation in San Francisco (where the sales and marketing teams are located), is quite dire. Morale on the sales team is really low. People are miserable; this is not hyperbole. I know three (!) great sales people who while at Everwise experienced the onset of severe anxiety symptoms. That means that working at Everwise as a salesperson has literally been bad for people’s mental health. The two top -performing AEs in Everwise history walked away from this company with thousands from unpaid commissions left on the table (the quarter after record-breaking quota achievement) That’s how unhappy they were, while performing better than anyone else ever has here. The Everwise team also lost a highly touted, hotly recruited VP of sales, a highly touted, hotly pursued Director of Marketing, and a highly touted, hotly recruited Head of Public Relations, all in a manner of months. They are leaking talent in important roles, and especially have a difficult time holding onto marketing professionals and top sales performers. Oh, on top of that, forget about career advancement. Everwise is terrible at developing talent (yes, yes, the irony), and they have elevated sales managers who have little to no experience managing people, or even hitting quota at Everwise! As mentioned multiple times in previous reviews: the CEO can be inspirational, but he can also be a nightmare to work with and be around. I don’t think very many people feel lifted up or supported by his style of leadership, even if he talks a good game. Speaking of talk: so many promises that Everwise makes are just talk. For example, read the copmany's responses to these reviews— it’s all about future “processes” that are currently being developed (we at Everwise heard it all before, many many times without much change). This company might beat the odds and figure out how to scale, but if you are in sales, do yourself a favor and stay far, far away until they fix the many problems on their sales teams. It’s going to take a while. Leadership in the New York office is much better at actually being people that you can enjoy spending time with and learning from, and morale there is much higher. One additional, extremely important con: my product experiences on the platform and in my mentoring partnership were terrible. Really hard to swallow after selling our work to so many companies and really believing that we can deliver value.
