Pros
Strong leadership with proven track record of building a successful organization. Our CEO and other leaders are passionate about our employees, our culture our customers and our business. What else is great? I feel empowered and supported every day Lots of career growth potential and leaders are invested in my development goals Fun, fun, fun! Backing of strong investors and industry leaders. Fast paced with a focus on responsible growth. Speaking from personal experience, too many startups grow too quickly without thinking about the long term strategy. They hire hundreds of people and then start restructuring soon after. Upgrade is committed to building a long-term successful organization Excellent benefits - 100% employee paid health insurance, wellness incentives, bonus, 401k, time off benefits, good location in downtown with cool & casual office space, full stocked kitchen Amazing people to work with every day Collaborative work environment And if that isn’t enough, Waffle Fridays are the best!!
Cons
Driving to downtown can be a drag with the commute. The location itself is beautiful and near lots of shops, food and entertainment so truly the location is a pro and a con. Still experiencing some growing pains of being a startup, however leadership is very engaged in listening, learning and improving based on feedback.
