Pros

I am returning to a workplace after Maternity leave that has given me the space, flexibility and support to have a baby and return to work in a way that feels as safe and comfortable as it can after such a monumental life shift. I held UpGuard’s culture in high regard before becoming a mum, but now it’s really been tested against my values. The fact I can’t wait to be amongst the team again is really telling.

Cons

There are always things to improve on - but no show stoppers here.

Pros

UpGuard has clearly put a lot of time and energy into ensuring an easy interviewing and onboarding process. While a lot of companies take drag you through 8-9-or sometimes 10 interviews, UpGuard's was relatively quick, but very painless. I always knew if I had a call coming the next week and the recruiter was always in constant communication with me giving me updates. UpGuard's onboarding is easily the best I've ever seen. My experiences in the past was maybe reading a document or two, a quick test, shadow, and then thrown to the wolves. UpGuard has taken a lot of time to create a proper training program. Every day you actually feel like you are leaving more knowledgeable and excited about the company and platform. Also, bonus points for how fun an enthusiastic everyone is on every team call.

Cons

Can't think of any at the moment.

Pros

Good benefits though you likely won’t be there long enough to use them

Cons

During the interview you will be told that you can grow with the company. That as long as you’re coachable and highly driven you’ll have the space to learn and grow. I cannot even begin to go in to how poor the onboarding process is. It’s a joke. Management is vaping on important meetings while telling you how behind you are because you actually did the onboarding tasks. Only after you do them you’re told they weren’t mandatory. You’re then immediately expected to out perform people who have been in the job over two years which ofc is impossible and thus you’ll be let go. The company shared with me that they are in a transitional period when I came in and boy could I tell because not one process here was functional. The team as a whole was extremely behind. Basically it’s all promise and no execution which is just plain disappointing. Work at McDonald’s over this place.
