Upstart Work Experiences

Solid place to work at

Engineering Manager • Current Employee

Pros: Culture is fantastic and everyone is mission motivated. It's an environment that values moving fast and working on things that matter.

Cons: The company has a large amount of tech debt which slows things down. There's a lot of initiatives to improve this but there's a lot of code and logic that just needs to be rewritten.
