You can create a 3 level hierarchy
Stacks

   Rt click notebook > Add to Stack >New stack
2. (Drag one notebook on top of another to create a stack)
      It will create a stack with the name of the notebook you dragged to and put that
      notebook in the stack along with the one you dragged.
  Notebooks (File > New notebook)
    Notes (Click  or File > New notebook)
 
 You can also put tags (keywords) in notes. (Click )

Status Jan 2019.
At Evernote might be in trouble, so here's how to get your notes out of it completely and saf... - AppleInsider Forums SEPT. 2018 they say,
It seems as if the Evernote company has always been in trouble but this month we've learned that it's shed several key people. That includes its Chief Technology Officer, Anirban Kundu and its Chief Financial Officer Vincent Toolan.

Given that this is a software company that is also trying to raise investment money, these are two crucial roles to be vacated. Hopefully the company will be fine and in which case regard the following as sensible advice for just backing up your data.

If the firm ever isn't okay, though, then you may need to get your notes out of Evernote and potentially in a hurry. Officially that's easy. Evernote has long made it simple to export your notes.

Only, there are devils in many different details and to get all of the data both out of Evernote and into somewhere else that you can actually use it is a bigger task than the company suggests.

At Evernote Promises To Fix A Long List Of Problems..| Forbes JAN 2019 they say,
The CEO of Evernote, Ian Small, says that he’s committed to fixing a long list of problems with the note-taking app this year. In 2018, the company cut 15 percent of its staff and lost many top executives as a result of these issues.
