Pros

Everyone was really nice and humble. Casual working environment. Open working space. Great culture.

Cons

Their internship program was not well organized. They did not have projects ready for their interns. I did not get a project to work on until four weeks into my 9-week long internship.

Pros

Market presence - Fortune 100 companies are actively approaching us to work with them. Challenging work - everyday is alway different. The organization is moving so fast that you do not have a single minute to get board. Culture - although the culture is still evolving and by no means perfect, there is a genuine culture of hard work and group aspiration for the company to succeed.

Cons

Still very chaotic - as you would expect from a startup Role is undefined - if you join Uptake, expect that your role and job description will be different 3 months from now. that keeps things exciting, but do not expect a defined career path.
