Pros

Great engineers. Umm.... hard to come up with a lot of pros

Cons

You'll be overworked and under-appreciated. Most people don't last 6 months. The turnover is constant and you can expect a shakeup to your pod every two weeks. Employees are paranoid and constantly in CYA mode. Management cares far too much about short term profit than they do about having a team of dedicated workers in it for the long haul. The culture is cult-like and dishonest. Their internal systems are poorly thought out.

10up Response
9y
Based on location (in a distributed company) and job function, we know that the reviewer is a former employee released from 10up as a result of a failure to reliably execute his job functions. During his tenure, and upon his exit, he consistently preferred to blame every but himself, and this review is no exception. Suffice to say his statistics about average 10up tenure and turnover are inaccurate (to say the least), and his remarks about our management values are disconnected from how we execute. I feel silly even responding seriously to a poster who throws around phrases like a "cult-like culture" (what does that even mean?), but as one example, I'll point out that we just gave the entire company an extra week off over the holidays (7 business days total) to help them recharge for 2017; not exactly in the interests of "short term profit." My advice back to John: if you're paranoid, it may be because you've oversold yourself. Spend less time making presumptuous claims about others' motivations, stop blaming and lashing out, have the humility to recognize that your way isn't the only way, and focus more on how you can grow your skill set and lean in.

Pros

Fully remote & usually flexible schedules given an international team. Most team members are strong and experienced. If you know how to clock in & clock out and turn of your brain to the social and political aspects of work, you can get an ok pay check here.

Cons

Since the private equity acquisition and merger with “Fueled” (10up will no longer have its name and some point and just be a part of “Fueled”), post job salaries have gone down $10k. 10% of the company was laid off. Benefits have gotten worse, and policies more unclear. What is clear is the private equity “squeeze” to get as much productivity from individuals as possible while removing support structures, leadership, benefits, and perks. Culture is disjointed, leadership is not on the same page with one another, and they are out of touch with the wider team and “little people” The team is not diverse. I have never interacted with a black employee. Because they hire people in other countries (India, Africa, Europe) they call that diversity. Few women in leadership actually making decisions
