Self-Destructive Culture - Anonymous employee Uptake Employee Review

Uptake has the lack of structure associate with start-ups and there are several talented and intelligent people who do try to improve it. However, almost anything that tries to get implemented get's ripped apart due to the bureaucracy and the vast amount of egos. I found the culture self-destructive, backstabbing, and stressful. There are several tightly knit cliques that would fight against each other and it was difficult to keep others accountable. Due to this culture, I witnessed coworkers hiding valuable information from one another, tantrums during meetings, and several project holds.
