Great work culture where everyone supports your day to day activities and overall growth. Free lunch, gym, subsidised other expenses are really helpful.

Collaborative, welcoming, focused environment.
|
|
Everyone is keen to help each other out and focus on the common goal, so cross-team collaboration flourishes.
Everyone works hard, but has fun doing so. I don't think I've ever worked in such a friendly yet productive office.
Output is the focus, not 'face time 9-5'.
Health and wellness is encouraged (gym membership can be subsidised, a food allowance is provided too), and flexibility runs in the culture.
|
I'm yet to comes across any real 'cons'.

Poor experience with management. Uncertain product future. Some lovely people.
|
|
There are some great people in various departments.
Marketing and product design is excellent.
|
UpGuard has an employee tenure of 0.8 years according to LinkedIn. This is the lowest in the many fields it now designs products for. How then does it have a 5-star glass door rating?
The obvious answer is people at UpGuard are writing many of these false reviews. If UpGuard is doing this, can you really trust them?
If you are thinking of working here, do your research and understand the history of this company. I should have listened more to the existing and past staff - not just the people hiring me. Learn from my mistake and understand what their original investments were for, and what they do now.
- Did you know a high percentage of its workforce was abruptly fired several years ago? Ask past staff about this. Ask UpGuard about it.
- What has changed since then? - Is leadership different?
UpGuard is rapidly hiring. This time, with multiple product offerings but failing in the Forrester Wave. The market considers UpGuard to sub-par. They sell on price and marketing spin.- Does the balance sheet justify this employee growth? - What will happen to the new staff when the numbers catch-up?
Think about this carefully, and listen to your instinct. Unfortunately for UpGuard, exaggerating numbers, logos, experience, and roadmap is their legacy.

The most positive environment I've ever worked in
|
|
The 5-star reviews are all accurate.
There is such a supportive culture at UpGuard. Good work is very celebrated, and a healthy work-life balance is promoted consistently. Everyone is lovely, ready to collaborate and succeed together.
The company is experiencing some fantastic growth, and there are exciting things in store for the team as that growth happens. With the growth, roles are constantly expanding, but this allows for constant self improvement.
|
I really don't see any cons to working here. With growth, you'll sometimes find processes that aren't completely bulletproof, and sometimes roles will overlap as individuals expand with the company.
Both of these things are easy to deal with when they arise, and don't subtract points from working here, in my mind.

Great team and great company to work for!
|
|
Supportive team and environment, flexible work conditions, rapidly expanding industry, interesting work and great remuneration.
|
Probably just that the Sydney office isn't big enough for everyone to come in, but when you consider that most people prefer to work from home it really isn't a big deal.

Several Years Later - Still Amazing

My coworkers are absolutely the greatest reason to work at UpGuard. We do incredible work as a business, and seeing it all happen in real time is a thrill. The insight and abilities we bring to the table create waves across industry worldwide. Most companies in this field are smoke and mirrors, while UpGuard is busy moving mountains.
|
Competitors are jealous of our success when they should be grateful for the education ;).

Be heard, make an impact, and work as a team
|
|
- Excellent coverage and teamwork
- Supportive leadership with a product-led growth model
- Encourages innovative thinking and proactive approaches to problems
- Promotes true work-life balance
- Excellent award system for peer-to-peer collaborations and assistance across all departments
- Finger-pointing and the blame game are not a thing.
- The customer success team is overseen by some of the best leadership strategies and principles I've ever seen.
|
- Remote work can be difficult with international time zones
- You'll need to be able to think on your feet and be self-sufficient
- Be prepared for constant updates to documentation and process.
- Flexible responsibilities means sometimes taking charge of side projects and tasks that extra, but very helpful to the company as a whole. But for those who like their roles and responsibilities defined and set, this would be a con.
