      This ship is about to sink

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Global exposure and new modern offices

      Cons

      Toxic environment with blaming and finger pointing attitude between departments. Many unpaid overtime hours, also during weekends. No work/life balance. Niche market that company used to operate has become saturated and company failed to transform. Old-fashioned products and services (relying still on SMS). Senior management has no respect for employees, usually trying to impose with fear. Bad management overall resulted in many lay-offs during 2017 and 2018 (already): employees lose their jobs because of senior management mistakes and bad planning.

      Good company with a joke of a CEO

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Upstream is a global leader in mobile marketing, most are great people and your hard work eventually pays out. - Truly global exposure - Good market position

      Cons

      - The company used to have a skilled and respected CEO up to Q2 2017; now it has a rude and ignorant showman with no respect whatsoever to human values. - Company strategy seems to be in doubt - People are getting burnt out

      Worthy only for Juniors

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - There are people with knowledge. Juniors can benefit & learn. - Nice building - Cool environment to work in that doesn't feel too corporate.

      Cons

      - The being-part-of-a-big-family-management style is used actually against you to keep your salary low. - The annual review mechanism, your reporting to your manager etc don't have a lot of weight. They are used just to show to the people there IS a serious measurement of monitoring people's performance. In reality, it is going to be used against you to keep your salary low. - The environment doesn't care about toxic behaviors if they make sense financially. Thus, feedback of people is used by management just to know what's going on, not purposeful for the. - Faithfulness is viewed as a weakness. If you stay too long, it will be against your career. - The managers that are long working in the company will use lies to keep your salary low. - No overtime ever paid or compensated in another way
