Pros

Small company so more responsibility and ownership

Cons

1. They expect you to understand whole product in 2 days without giving any KT or providing any resources. There is no proper documentation even on confluence. 2. First few months are hell, your are expected to contribute at same level to person who has been in company for few years now. 3. The employees won't be helping you because they too are burdened with so may tickets that getting a 30 mins time in a week gets difficult for them. 4. Making few employees as GOD. These GODS are never wrong, there feedback can restrict a full stack developer to just front end developer as he/she is not quick enough on his first ticket. 5. You might be offered to work on GO but most services in atleast middleware team is nodeJs and no GO work will be given to you. 6. On an average expect to work for minimum of 10 hours on average and most of the weekends you will be working too without any recognition. 7. Below industry level CTC.

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.
