Evox Images Reviews

Pros

Evox has become more client and employee focussed. The company is very goal oriented and employees are pushed to deliver at an optimal level. If you like to perform at a high level, you will be happy.

Cons

If you don't like to perform at your best, it might not be a good fit. The location is not convenient for shopping or restaurants.

Pros

I have worked for the company for over ten years, and I feel that the current direction and culture is much better now that it has ever been previously. I personally have been given several opportunities over the years to take on more responsibility, and I feel that my voice and ideas are being heard and considered. The work/life balance is very nice, and it's rare that you are required to work late or on weekends. It’s a great group of people that work here, and you get to collaborate across teams on a regular basis. The type of work we do shifts on occasion, which makes it a more agile and exciting work environment. Our clients represent some of the largest companies in the US, and it's exciting to see our work used in very big ways.

Cons

I do wish there was a form of 401k matching, but it's a very small company, so it's understandable. Due to the smaller company size, you wear multiple hats, which at peak times can bog you down.

Pros

-Communication is much easier within a smaller company. -Strong company culture: Breakfast every Wednesday for team building. -All departments work closely with each other so easy to learn the workflow. -Asking questions is strongly encouraged

Cons

-Not enough sunlight enters the windows so definitely need to take those walk breaks. -Food places are not within walking distance but plenty of options for driving. -Vacation and Sick time could be a bit better for those just starting.

Pros

I worked in a department that had a primary focus on creating custom work or "build to order" direct to client or through their agencies. This is a company that had a licensing business model, so allowing for a custom content department was a bit of a battle, but also an incredible opportunity to be a part of. My contributions in the beginning were run under a microscope by a driven CEO...he will hold you accountable. Perhaps that should be seen as a con at times, but the man is an engineer and a rocket scientist... Be prepared to support your claims. He has an entrepreneur spirit, which is exciting at times and stressful at others. If you take change as a welcome challenge, you'll be fine. Our department developed a level of account focus that I feel brought the company into many new territories, and created new types of client relationships. It improved the variety in our business that it owes the artists behind the work a great deal of thanks. If you work in that department, they have a solid foundation with years of pipeline refinement that is lead by very talented minds. If you have an idea to help it grow, be the type to present with confidence and know that same team will support you. The people that I got to know over the years while working with Evox, made it what it was. I know that when reading through some of the other reviews, you'll see some mixed emotions... I'm not here to validate or deny any claims. I'm simply writing that my experience was what I allowed it to be, and if I was truly unhappy, I would have left and stated that as my reason in this forum. I now find myself missing my coworkers because they are incredibly talented, passionate, and make coming into work a pleasant experience. They laugh at my jokes and I'm not even that funny. I respected my management because you'll find they have some major experience that they bring to the table. You will be taught quite a bit if you involve yourself when given the opportunity. Lead management can open pretty much any agency or OEM door that you need opened. The only problem is that it takes a good 30 minutes or so to get through all the greetings before even getting to the meeting room. If your tasked with business development, this is a great problem to have. Maybe you were looking for a bulleted list. In a nutshell, this is the takeaway: -Talented coworkers -Opportunity to grow if you're the type to go take it on -You will wear multiple hats if they fit (it's good for you and your resume will thank you) -Management has the experience to back their influence -CEO likes to stay closely involved

Cons

See above novel and decide for yourself.

Pros

- Doing exciting Industry leading work - Great work / life balance by far one of the least stressful atmospheres I've had the pleasure of working in . - Large variety of projects going on at once it's actually pretty difficult to stagnate too much in an environment where something new is being developed, researched, or explored on any given day .

Cons

- Development roadmaps and schedules fluctuate sporadically at times . Sometimes a project is an immediate priority , then falls on the backburner until an immediate resurged interest pops up . - It can be frustrating communicating the technical possibilities of vaguely defined projects with management sometimes. Sometimes questions asked are similar to " How long is a piece of string ?" . Without project details it's next to impossible to give concrete project answers. - Not much of a sense of culture within the studio , most people come in , do their hours and go home which is fine but considering it's a studio the utilizes a lot of creative people to do the job there is definitely an inner passion most employees have that I feel may not be explored and who knows what that could yield ?

Pros

Evox is a relaxed and fun work environment, hours are flexible, projects are challenging and the employees are a great group of people. Pay is around market value, benefits are decent. Nice location & modern equipment that's provided to work on. Some of the bleeding edge tech projects are really fun and exciting to be a part of. There is always room to learn new skills and technologies here.

Cons

Vacation / sick time could be more generous and the lack of a matching 401k is disappointing. The bonus program is not well managed and is more of a frustration than a benefit.
