Vantaggi

The only good part about it was working remotely.

Svantaggi

Unfair Layoffs: I was laid off without a chance to explain or justify myself, despite receiving positive feedback from colleagues. The reasoning was based on unrealistic performance expectations. Inadequate Management: Poor management with a lack of structure and organization within the company. Unequal Work Distribution: Work distribution lacks fairness, with no consideration of experience and skills. New hires are brought in without a clear plan for work delegation. Excessive Working Hours: Employees are often required to work long hours, ranging from 12 to 14 hours, due to the disorganized work environment. Lack of Recognition: There is a noticeable absence of recognition for hard work and contributions made by employees.

Hi there; I appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. I am aware of your situation and respect the difficult circumstances surrounding your exit from the business. Over the past year, we have been working hard to ensure that as our business continues to scale, we remain a place our team is proud to work at. An important part of achieving this is seeking regular feedback from our team - and acting on the areas they feel we need to improve on. As you know, we value trust and transparency - no bs, no games; and so I must admit that your comments took me somewhat by surprise, given your recent assessment of your time with UpGuard dated October 4, in which you indicated you were loving your role and saw great potential for future growth and opportunity. While I acknowledge your disappointment that your time here has ended and respect your feelings toward the circumstances surrounding the decision to part ways, I am deeply concerned by your comments and the serious allegations you’ve made against your leader and the company, which are inconsistent with your own comments as mentioned, along with the records of discussions held with you throughout your probation period and which highlighted the conduct and poor performance, which ultimately led to the termination of your probationary employment. As you know, the probationary period is intended to provide both the company and new starters with suitable time for us to get to know each other, to assess and determine if we are a good match, and to establish if there is alignment between the skills and abilities needed for success in their role, and those which are displayed by new starters throughout their probation. Our UpStarter Onboarding Program provides all new starters with a structured plan to guide their learning of both company-wide and role-specific content. This is supported by regular check in’s with the team members' manager to ensure continued progress towards competency is achieved. While we maintain above 90% probation pass rates, occasionally, performance or conduct that is inconsistent with our values or the role that someone is employed to fulfill makes it necessary for us to consider difficult decisions, which we don’t take lightly. With the knowledge that you were, in fact, informed of several performance-related concerns and that despite receiving additional coaching and support to overcome these, repeated discussions relating to the same issues were had and documented, and with consideration to the nature of your role and the potential risks arising from the repeated errors and poor lack of detail displayed, I believe the decision to end your employment within probation, was not unreasonable, unjust or unfair. While it’s regrettable that you felt compelled to leave a review, seemingly with the intention to mislead and portray the company and our practices in a negative light, I wish you well with your future endeavors.

Vantaggi

UpGuard has clearly put a lot of time and energy into ensuring an easy interviewing and onboarding process. While a lot of companies take drag you through 8-9-or sometimes 10 interviews, UpGuard's was relatively quick, but very painless. I always knew if I had a call coming the next week and the recruiter was always in constant communication with me giving me updates. UpGuard's onboarding is easily the best I've ever seen. My experiences in the past was maybe reading a document or two, a quick test, shadow, and then thrown to the wolves. UpGuard has taken a lot of time to create a proper training program. Every day you actually feel like you are leaving more knowledgeable and excited about the company and platform. Also, bonus points for how fun an enthusiastic everyone is on every team call.

Svantaggi

Can't think of any at the moment.

Svantaggi

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.
