Pleasant people - Security Solutions Engineer Uptycs Employee Review

The team is great, very knowledgeable

I was very happy working there no cons

When I started, Uptycs' marketing department was a powerhouse full of really sharp people who were excellent at their jobs and doing phenomenal work. That was the one big "pro." Shortly thereafter, word came down from the CEO that we needed to focus on areas that had generated business in the past, but which was doing nothing for the company at the time. Long story short, we wasted months on micro-management assignments that brought in zero business while neglecting our own CMO's plans. Eventually, the CEO got fed up and started firing everyone without notice: unprofessionalism ruled the day from beginning to end.

At the highest levels, Uptycs is run by an insiders' group who prioritize micro-management over all else. The relationship between the CEO and c-level employees should be one of mutual respect, not an opportunity to run departments like marketing into the ground on wild goose chases that do nothing for the business.
