Pros

With so much chaos going on, it is easy to get away with not doing anything or delivery anything. The data science team, a few engineers, and a few product managers are crazy smart.

Cons

Very toxic. Very cliquish. Very little clear direction from leadership. Very poorly run. Very poor leadership. Everyone is worried about how they look to Brad, and Brad himself is very worried about his image. Every charity donation he makes has to be announced from the top of a mountain. Brad Keywell is on a mission to become a billionaire again, and as fast as possible. With that desperation comes a lot of chaos, and running around like a chicken with its head cut off. When I was there, he hardly seen the product in development. They now have an entire new leadership form GE who all live in Silicon Valley. The GE execs have failed at GE creating a platform, and now they think they can become successful at Uptake?
