Pros

Interesting work and tech Competitive salaries Team lunches Good peers and TLs.

Cons

Internal politics A few managers do pretty much nothing while taking hefty salaries Unrealistic deadlines and work expectations Would expect you to work every weekend No clear vision/direction. Just making up a bunch of projects to keep employees busy Multiple highly paid employees only exist in the org because they're related to someone else, or they are friends from previous companies. No collaborative mentality whatsoever, divided within India team based on location and constantly bashing the other teams.

Pros

When I started, Uptycs' marketing department was a powerhouse full of really sharp people who were excellent at their jobs and doing phenomenal work. That was the one big "pro." Shortly thereafter, word came down from the CEO that we needed to focus on areas that had generated business in the past, but which was doing nothing for the company at the time. Long story short, we wasted months on micro-management assignments that brought in zero business while neglecting our own CMO's plans. Eventually, the CEO got fed up and started firing everyone without notice: unprofessionalism ruled the day from beginning to end.

Cons

At the highest levels, Uptycs is run by an insiders' group who prioritize micro-management over all else. The relationship between the CEO and c-level employees should be one of mutual respect, not an opportunity to run departments like marketing into the ground on wild goose chases that do nothing for the business.
