Pros

Upland is broken into 5 BU's which are all very silo'ed. I loved my BU - great sales reps, CSMs, SEs, Professional Services, Marketing...everyone. What a fantastic team. I will miss that group.

Cons

Upland is essentially a PE firm masquerading as a software company. They've never built a solution and now have 30+ (often ill-assembled) solutions across 5 BUs. As such, they operate much like a PE firm. There is no innovation once a company is purchased. This has led to a 90% stock price decline. New sales management hasn't helped, shifting away from a consultative sales model to more transactional sales by a digital (aka inside) sales team. Add to that the lowered comp and higher quotas (literally having to sell more to make less), and a one can see how Upland's sales continue to decline. This will make paying off a $500M loan in early 2026 almost impossible. If you're in sales, the short-term outlook is fairly rotten. If you're anywhere else in the company, the long-term outlook is downright dismal.

Pros

Remote work. Colleagues are good people who mean well.

Cons

Lack of strategy at the leadership level. Insufficient investment in innovation, products, teams, and individuals. Well below market rates for similar roles, and people turn over like crazy here because they're way overworked. The benefits don't make up for it either.
