Uptake

Clarity

We’re open, clear, direct and honest in our communications. If something doesn’t make sense, we ask questions.

Curiosity

We know no bounds. We question, hunt, study, examine, probe, observe, peek, query and search. Whatever it takes to learn from different perspectives.

Flexibility

We’re nimble. We live by our entrepreneurial spirit, taking risks and learning from them. We’re always moving forward.

Industry

We embrace problems, and we don’t take “no” for an answer. We roll up our sleeves and dive in with unbridled commitment.

Trust

We speak the truth. We believe in each other. Building trust requires confidence, faith, patience and effort. We do what we say we’ll do.

We care about you, and about your personal and professional success. Here’s just a glimpse of what we offer.

Time Away

Need a mental break? Take it! We practice mindfulness, and we expect you to know when you operate at your best. We trust you to know what time off you need, and to not leave your team hanging.

Continuous Learning

We’re on a constant quest to learn. Join us! Enroll in internal classes or external events of your choice. Uptake’s professional and personal development program is always growing. From data science 101 to hackathons. From productivity and public speaking to conscious leadership.

Holistic Health

Being healthy means something different for everyone. We advocate wellbeing inside and out – emotionally, physically, financially. We offer gym and studio discounts, on-site yoga, massages, meditation, financial planning and nutrition classes, individual and team fitness challenges, and more.

Progressive Benefits

We offer medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, plus health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts and commuter spending accounts. We don’t just offer a 401(k), we offer a match as well.

Family Oriented

We’re all about family. We provide parental leave for primary andsecondary caregivers – birth or adoption. Our medical plan offers a Special Beginnings program to get expectant parents and their children off to a healthy start with ongoing education, guidance and support.

Uptake University

We launched our own in-house education program to promote ongoing learning and development. All Uptakers have access to Uptake U. Choose from a diverse array of course topics and material, enroll for intriguing classes that compel you, and track your progress throughout.
