I have been working at Uptake full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
I've been here over 4 months and I can definitely say that your work and opinion is valued, there are many opportunities to learn about something completely new, people are engaged, there are opportunities for professional growth, and there is a good work/life balance through wfh flexibility, flex hours, and unlimited PTO.
Cons
As with any company this size, working with IT can be quite frustrating when you've got a creative tech idea and a deadline to hit.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uptake (Chicago, IL) in November 2016.
Interview
The recruiter I had was really on top the whole process. The whole interview process was fast and professional. One of the best interview experiences I have seen thus far. I had a phone interview first and then went in for the face to face interview two days later. I heard back from them a week later.
