Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Non upper management people were smart and great to work with but turnover is so high so that Pro is going away

Cons

- Moral is very low - Every year employee benefits seemed to be reduced - No focus, I promise you that you will spend countless hours and months working on something just to see it get trashed or thrown out. - C level management is kind of a joke. Once GE execs came in, everything started going downhill fast and continues too - No direction - No Transparency. Brad Keywell did a good job of transparency in the beginning of the company then these GE execs came in and every response is some cookie cutter BS speech. - Will be a set back in your career and a waste of time. Don't do it no matter how good recruiters make it sound. The press you here about Uptake is not what is actually going on. Uptake looks good from outside but is an absolute mess internally. - Lots of lay offs without time to off-board projects creating a butterfly effect creating extra work for the remaining people without compensation which results in high turnover. It's sad to see Uptake head down this road. When I first started almost 2 years ago, the vibe was very energetic and motivating. Upper management couldn't make decisions and focus and killed all that. We will see if something changes but I don't have high hopes. Don't waste your time here as of now, look a different company, trust me.
