Thanks for sharing your feedback. While it’s never easy to receive a negative review—especially when it strikes at the values we hold close, like Care for Our Team and Be Excellent to Each Other —we take it seriously. UpGuard has grown and evolved a lot in the last 3 years - both as a business, and as a team. However while much has changed during your time here, the core tenants of our culture, our mission, values, and our commitment to excellence, remain the same. If we’ve fallen short for you, that matters to us. We value open and honest feedback, whether through our monthly pulse surveys, 1:1s, or our other feedback rituals. It is the feedback and input of our team that has helped us build a workplace which was recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Australia, the UK, and the USA for 2024. Despite your review providing little detail as to the reason you view UpGuard in such a negative light, we’re always looking to improve. If you’re open to a conversation, I’d welcome the chance to understand your perspective. Either way, I appreciate your time at UpGuard and wish you the best. Marcus Waterreus VP, People

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.
