Pros

- Unlimited PTO, Snacks, and lots of swag - work life balance: most engineers work 30 hour weeks because there isn't a product. You can leave at 4pm

Cons

- employees are told to post fake Glassdoor reviews to hide real ones - it's obvious. Last few have been 5 stars to hide real ones from my friends that left uptake - No product or real customers - CPO lies to CEO about status of product - politics are unbelievable - hunger games - smart people have left or are in the process of leaving - anyone that's paying attention will leave before the Uptake bubble bursts. I am trying to get out. - did I mention - no product? - CEO is disconnected and doesn't understand how to build a software company. If he did, we would have a product after 2 years.

Pros

There is a big emphasis on promoting a psychologically safe environment, which is necessary for innovation and creativity. Training provided to enforce the positive environment. Clear direction. Clear expectations. Phenomenal support for the employees. Perks are good. The largest collection of bright people I have seen assembled in one place outside of a university setting.

Cons

I was a contractor for 7 months prior to joining. In that time I raised concerns and objections. Surprisingly management and the supporting staff worked toward resolving the issues. I'm very impressed by the work environment and especially of the work.
