Pros

Global exposure and new modern offices

Cons

Toxic environment with blaming and finger pointing attitude between departments. Many unpaid overtime hours, also during weekends. No work/life balance. Niche market that company used to operate has become saturated and company failed to transform. Old-fashioned products and services (relying still on SMS). Senior management has no respect for employees, usually trying to impose with fear. Bad management overall resulted in many lay-offs during 2017 and 2018 (already): employees lose their jobs because of senior management mistakes and bad planning.

Pros

- Upstream is a global leader in mobile marketing, most are great people and your hard work eventually pays out. - Truly global exposure - Good market position

Cons

- The company used to have a skilled and respected CEO up to Q2 2017; now it has a rude and ignorant showman with no respect whatsoever to human values. - Company strategy seems to be in doubt - People are getting burnt out
