Good pay and interesting work, but feels corporate now - Recensione dipendente - Senior ML Engineer presso EvolutionIQ

Great culture, perks, and okay salary

Could be potentially facing many competitors

The comp is still fair, with perks like the annual PR trip and summer camp rounding things out.

This is not the EIQ of yesterday; The very thing that made it special years ago, has all but vanished. While overall retention has not been that stark (yet), those who have decided to leave were some of the brightest and best. The company struggles with clarity of mission and vision. It comes across as build what people will buy, whatever will generate revenue. There is no perspective on how the insurance industry should actually change. The product direction and vision is scattershot, lacking a cohesive direction and a strong point of view. We end up building in near random direction rather than toward something, compounding forward. The AI work we do is no longer at the bleeding edge, because there's no affordance from the pressures of deliveries or short-term ism. Everything comes together, cobbled, frail, and in a scramble in order to hit arbitrary deadlines, where the cost of pushing the team to hit them is not accounted for. I really want to believe in this place, but I'm afraid its too far gone. The great people are sparse, few and far between. The ones who are great have left, or at high risk of leaving.
