Vantaggi

The culture at Upswing beats anything else I've experienced in my professional career. There is a strong sense of community, supporting each other and reaching across teams to ensure everyone is enabled to do their best work. I have worked remotely my whole career and, being a fully remote company, Upswing definitely knows how to provide the ideal "virtual office experience." Engineering team is very dedicated to improving the code base and enhancing the user experience. Recently, there has been a renewed focus on infrastructure/application improvements to enhance development, deployment and security processes. Management is always looking to improve professional development processes and help you achieve your career goals. C-Suite is very transparent regarding the company's financial outlook and overall direction.

Svantaggi

The startup world provides many challenges that affect the whole company (funding, meeting revenue goals, employee retention). There is always some risk when joining a small/startup company that is still proving it can survive in the industry long-term. Being a small company, advancement can be harder with fewer opportunities for promotion. However, Upswing has been making improvements in this area recently.

Vantaggi

I LOVE working for Upswing! I've been a tutor for over 2 years now, and it works so wonderfully with my schedule as a student. I love all the students I get to meet, and I like how you can tutor multiple subjects, too. They've been so responsive whenever I need help with something.

Svantaggi

Sometimes the work is slow during off-seasons, and if you're a student, the busiest times are when you are also taking your exams.

Svantaggi

I have worked for Upswing the past 3 years. Rates for asynchrounous tutoring have already been below the market range. This year, they have introduced a very dishonest pay cut advertisted as a "raise" - the first one offered to tutors in their 10 years of being. Where tutors were paid a certain amount per paper, with the hourly rate being cut in half if the paper is 4 or less pages, and full if 5+ pages, tutors are now paid an hourly rate for every 3 papers reviewed. For example, this means that where 82 papers marked as 5+ pages, equaling $15 each, would be $1230, tutors would be compensated 82/3=27.333 times $15, equaling $409.5. To advertise this as a positive shift and pay raise is completely dishonest and frankly, not in consideration of the support provided to students. On top of this, there is absolutely no room to elevate in the company, despite employee loyalty or positive feedback from partners and students.
