Lost Focus on the Mission - Software Engineer Uptake Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We take to heart the comments from our employees here and from all other feedback sources. We take concerns raised here seriously and work to address them. As a young, high-growth company, we know that things move quickly, so we are very mindful of the need to communicate the mission of the company, which is why our senior leadership seeks to stress our unique vision at every opportunity, whether through all-hands meetings, smaller group gatherings, in team email communications, or on the screens lined throughout the office space. This post denotes a need to continue to refine that messaging and identify additional opportunities for reaching our team members. Regarding office space, we are keenly aware of the constraints put on the team as the result of our rapid growth. We continue to add and modify space including the recent addition of the 3rd floor and renovations to our 2nd floor space. This allows for both collaboration and space devoted to more quiet, deep-thought work. Finally, thank you for expressing concerns about employee contributions. There are active discussions underway about how we can further recognize exemplary work as Brad has suggested at recent all-hands. Again, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the time you took to share your concerns and are committed to creating an environment where this input is not only valued but acted upon for the betterment of our culture and our employee experience.
