Upchain Reviews

Where to even start. Upper management would make horrible decisions and push the team to complete unachievable goals, even when team leads would push back. Development, product and quality is so bad because all is rushed. Everyone always hates their environment and afraid to loose there jobs. If a mistake is made higher up it is ignored. If someone makes a mistake on the team level, they are continuously ridiculed. This is by far the least professional place I've worked at in my entire life. People were yelled at and continuously put on the spot, forced to work overtime to achieve unattainable goals, and then a bunch of people got fired. A bonus for the overtime worked was promised and no one got it.

To start I was completely lied to during my interview process. They stressed how great the culture is, how everyones opinion is valued, and that they are on the verge of redefining an industry. None of this could be further from the truth. [1] This is perhaps the worst culture I have ever experienced. The office is dead quiet throughout the day. No one in the company stays past 5 o'clock. No company events, after hour outings, etc. [2] The team is in a constant state of fear of losing their jobs. Since I've started I've seen countless people walked out the door not long after voicing their opinions about ways we could improve. Unacceptable for a growing startup. Turnover is a massive issue here. [3] The platform itself has a lot of issues/bugs under the hood. The CEO is convinced it's the greatest system ever which is quite laughable. If you criticize the system in any way you might as well pack up your desk because you won't be around long. [4] Everything about HR here is extremely unethical. It is hands down the most unprofessional I have ever worked with. (On top of directly lying to me about the role/company) they also gossip and spread rumours about employees. And with management blind to what's really going on the HR team is basically in charge of things.
