Interviews and Onboarding - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso UpGuard

This is the best company I've worked for in my tech career. The people are amazing. The culture is great. The benefits are awesome. Mike, our CEO and fearless leader, is always great to talk to and catch up with. The company values communication and making sure employees voices are heard and understood. My direct manager is involved and open to feedback. We have regular check ins but there's no micromanaging. The team I work with is great and we all get to meet up multiple times a year.

I've noticed I could be getting paid a little more with other companies in my role, but the benefits, culture, and work/life balance level the playing field for me. The 401k match is a little lower than I've had in the past, but again there are other factors like our other benefits and monthly lifestyle stipends that level that out.

When I first started at UpGuard, it was amazing. I felt like I was on a great team, selling a solution I believe in, and being heard by management when I had ideas. However, the true colors of UpGuard and their “leadership and management” really began to show. Managers will take your ideas to executives and take credit. When expressing concerns to “team leads” they were not heard. In one ear and out the other or they would brush you off and give excuses. They 100% play favoritism with their employees and it’s completely inappropriate. The managers and leadership have TRUE “mean girl energy” and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to experience this within the workplace. If one of the “favorites” doesn’t like someone, they are out the door! fired! The managers do not exhibit leadership skills or make you feel as though they want you to grow within the company. Also, leadership will belittle you in public slack channels in front of the entire company, even using profanity!! And it is beyond inappropriate and embarrassing. It’s very disheartening as I genuinely thought this was a great company at first.
