Fun, upbeat and dedicated team! - Senior Scientific Recruiter UPSIDE Foods Employee Review

UPSIDE is my first experience working at a startup and it's exceeded my expectations. It has all the benefits of a startup - flat structure, IC can achieve real impact, and minimal bureaucracy - without the toxic culture of other bay area tech startups. The company has a very diverse set of talent and the people here care a lot about the positive impact of their work, which makes the workplace experience very pleasant

Company direction and strategy is ever changing, people needs to be comfortable with navigating ambiguity

Building a food system so people can eat meat at scale without destroying the world has to be one of the most important needs of this generation alongside clean power and good health. I'd volunteer to advance this mission, so it's wonderful to also get paid to do it. Hard and challenging start-up work means fast-growth and zero dull repetition. Every single person cares about the mission. Very low politics compared to many companies

Not for everyone. We work hard, We have high expectations of ourselves, We're doing science that's never been done before, and that means you need to be OK failing, learning, and then succeeding. Don't come here if you just want a paycheck/payout or are going to be sad our snacks don't compete with your favorite profitable tech campus. But come if you want to better the world.
