Very interesting work, growing insanely fast, awesome people and relaxed culture. They let me directly join a team as an intern which was a great learning experience

Uptake Response

Thanks so much for this feedback. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your internship experience and felt you were an immersed part of the team. That's a primary goal for our internship program -- to really embed people in the business in order to provide a true hands-on experience. We can be somewhat scrappy at times given our growth and all of the activity here. We aim to ensure we have enough structure in place to be organized and productive without diminishing the flexible, entrepreneurial environment we love so much about Uptake.

Pros

Great, innovative product. Building something unlike anything I've worked on before.

Cons

It's a start-up so things can be crazy, but what else is to be expected of a company this young with this much success.

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.
