Pros

The Product is great, with some really amazing custom functionality especially on the back end. It really does work well for a range of security needs and is especially useful for large companies. You will learn a lot here on the technology side, especially. And it's a great place to enter the cyber security space. Some very smart people and the work is very rewarding.

Cons

There is some less than optimal code on the UI side. My understanding is a contractor who works remotely in the midwest was put in charge of some of the architecture and wrote it in a way that is very difficult for others to understand modify and work with. This architecture is also very buggy and in some places literally hundreds of lines of code and multiple files are used for very simple functionality where 10 lines and one file will do. And no-one really understands why this was done....

Pros

When I started, Uptycs' marketing department was a powerhouse full of really sharp people who were excellent at their jobs and doing phenomenal work. That was the one big "pro." Shortly thereafter, word came down from the CEO that we needed to focus on areas that had generated business in the past, but which was doing nothing for the company at the time. Long story short, we wasted months on micro-management assignments that brought in zero business while neglecting our own CMO's plans. Eventually, the CEO got fed up and started firing everyone without notice: unprofessionalism ruled the day from beginning to end.

Cons

At the highest levels, Uptycs is run by an insiders' group who prioritize micro-management over all else. The relationship between the CEO and c-level employees should be one of mutual respect, not an opportunity to run departments like marketing into the ground on wild goose chases that do nothing for the business.
