Pros

- Unlimited PTO, Snacks, and lots of swag - work life balance: most engineers work 30 hour weeks because there isn't a product. You can leave at 4pm

Cons

- employees are told to post fake Glassdoor reviews to hide real ones - it's obvious. Last few have been 5 stars to hide real ones from my friends that left uptake - No product or real customers - CPO lies to CEO about status of product - politics are unbelievable - hunger games - smart people have left or are in the process of leaving - anyone that's paying attention will leave before the Uptake bubble bursts. I am trying to get out. - did I mention - no product? - CEO is disconnected and doesn't understand how to build a software company. If he did, we would have a product after 2 years.
