Pros
Upward Engine is a solid company that experienced rapid growth, and I loved working there. The team had a tight-knit, family feel, and the company culture was supportive and collaborative. The work was rewarding, with opportunities to grow and learn. They also offered a flexible hybrid schedule, which made it easier to balance work and personal life.
Cons
As the company expanded, it fell into some of the pitfalls of corporate growth. Decisions started being driven more by the bottom line than by the well-being of the team. I was laid off after training my assistant, who was kept on because she was paid less. It was disheartening to see great, hard-working employees let go in favor of cutting costs.
