Pros

The staff at LearnUpon were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed coming in to work each day and felt very welcome. They are all hardworking people and I have nothing but words of praise for them.

Cons

The management was dishonest with me from the start. I was forced to interact with customers in a manner that did not suit my personality or style of communication. I faced endless levels of criticism for every part of my performance and was under a lot of pressure and unnecessary stress. In hindsight, I would say that the company is unfortunately much too image conscious for their own good. Management also bullied new employees into singing a song at a company party. If an employee refused to sing a song they were subjected to harassment which was condoned by the management.

Be careful with Product and Engineering

Pros

Learnupon has a lot of great people working there. They used to have a really great company wide culture of humility, team work and everyone rolled up their sleeves and got the job done, all the way up to the CEO. This attracted some of the best people I've had the pleasure to work with in my career. Some teams still have that great culture and they would be really positive places to work. I would advise anyone interested in an opportunity at LearnUpon to pay close attention to the reviews here on Glassdoor especially noting the teams reviewers are coming from. I would say the reviews are accurate for their teams.

Cons

The Product and Engineering teams have lost this great culture. Simply put there was a change in leadership in both Product and Engineering and those teams are now toxic. This is so disappointing to see a once great culture turn around like this. I would say the money and benefits are about average. If you're willing to put up with a toxic culture I would say go and work in Amazon or Linkedin, at least you'll get paid well to put up with this toxicity. An example here: a whole bunch of long term employees who gave the best years of their careers to build learnupon have been cast aside, put on PiPs and allowed to burn. There are a lot of PiPs in Learnupon Product and Engineering by the way. More than I have ever seen in my career
