Cons
Before joining Uptake, a former colleague expressed his concerns when I asked about the company. He did not recommend it. I should have listened. -Poor leadership and poor management...Simply put...blinded by ambition, out-of-touch with the business, and alienating. The other reviews have said enough already. -Politics are bad. Like, really bad. -Little mentoring or support from managers. -Regular layoffs. Seemingly constant turnover, from the executive level on down. -Strategy is always changing and is seemingly and unnecessarily complex. Walk before you run! -This was a setback in my career, disappointing in what seemed like a truly high potential opportunity. I did not develop as much professionally as hoped, and I believe a lot of that has to do with how Uptake is run.
