Pros

Free snacks in the break room.

Cons

When I first started at UpGuard, it was amazing. I felt like I was on a great team, selling a solution I believe in, and being heard by management when I had ideas. However, the true colors of UpGuard and their “leadership and management” really began to show. Managers will take your ideas to executives and take credit. When expressing concerns to “team leads” they were not heard. In one ear and out the other or they would brush you off and give excuses. They 100% play favoritism with their employees and it’s completely inappropriate. The managers and leadership have TRUE “mean girl energy” and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to experience this within the workplace. If one of the “favorites” doesn’t like someone, they are out the door! fired! The managers do not exhibit leadership skills or make you feel as though they want you to grow within the company. Also, leadership will belittle you in public slack channels in front of the entire company, even using profanity!! And it is beyond inappropriate and embarrassing. It’s very disheartening as I genuinely thought this was a great company at first.
