Rough Times But Still Potential, Need New Product Leader - Business Development Upsight Employee Review

I've worked in a lot of different companies and I can say without hesitation that Upsight is one of the best. I normally don't write reviews, but Upsight is a company that deserves to have its vision, value and people praised. The leadership team really cares about the well-being of everyone who works there, they make sure everyone feels heard and appreciated. Upsight also has some of the smartest people you'll have the honor to work with. People here are passionate about marketing tech and have an intense understanding of the marketplace and industry needs. They're also some of the nicest, most inclusive people in Silicon Valley that you'll ever meet, I've made life long friends and business partners here. Upsight's platform is also perhaps the most advance in the market today. It's a diverse offering and addresses real pain points, this means adoption will only continue to grow.

Leadership and people here are very intelligent. To the uninitiated, this can be intimidating. You'll need to take the time to really learn and understand both the product and the broader industry in order to be successful here. They have high expectations, but they'll never expect you to deliver more that what they themselves can deliver.

Great culture, really fun people, innovative product. There's a lot of money for fun things and the company is really concerned about making sure that the fun startup culture doesn't go away. The product is interesting and it's an interesting field to be working in. Lots of perks, swag, and casual office environment. Beautiful offices.

While the company's culture is great, the management style and strategic directions are overwhelmingly set from a "top down" direction. Unfortunately, many of the company's managers and executives who have come from other companies don't seem to understand the challenges and opportunities in the mobile analytics space. Employees have also found that there is no one at Kontagent to whom an employee can go to offer meaningful feedback, because the very upper management doesn't keep feedback confidential and constructive feedback is punished. The effect of top down management and top down strategic decisions and policies without any possibility for constructive feedback has left the company in a very bad position with regard to its product, its sales performance, expectations on employees and employee morale.
