Vantaggi
The people are amazing for the most part. The 4 day week is great in theory. Pay and benefits are generally good. Started out as a great place to work.
Svantaggi
Company is going downhill fast and scraping by on a depleting Series A. The CEO is a great guy but doesn't seem to know how to keep the company above water. He's very careful about what he says to employees to keep them from panicking. He will constantly stress how he thinks they have "the right team" to finally turn the tide before laying people off the next week. Most recent round of layoffs included the entire Marketing, Customer Success, and SDR teams in July. More were recently let go. Your job isn't even safe if you're on maternity leave. Yeah, they let go of a senior leader on maternity leave! The 4 day work week is good in theory, but you're often so busy trying to save your job that you end up working Fridays anyway. The CEO also stresses that you don't actually have Fridays off if there is work to do, which is a lot of the time. Not sure that benefit will last. The product had great potential but has fallen behind the competition. More and more competitors are entering the market and outpacing Uplevel. I'd be surprised if the company is still around in a year or two. But if you're just looking for a short period of good pay and a few Fridays off, give them a shot. Maybe they'll turn things around. They have a good team of people but not sure that’s enough.
