Pros

The best reason to join Uptake is to gain experience working for a startup in a high growth industry. You get an opportunity to work with very smart and highly motivated people, and the ability to get a taste of what working for a startup is like.

Cons

As an early employee at the company, I found that management treated its employees very poorly. There was a lack of vision by upper management and a complete lack of respect for the employees. Compensation was very poor - most early employees took major pay cuts and the equity that they offered was minimal (do the math!). If you decide to take a job here, make sure your compensation is competitive given the risk that you're taking in joining a startup.
