Fake bootcamp run by wanna-be business bros. Possibly illegal. No one works here for more than 6 months. Upright is no longer in VT, but is based in NYC.

Pros
-Mission-Driven: Upright is deeply committed to empowering adult learners through high-quality bootcamp programs. It feels rewarding to be part of a company making a real difference. -Growth Opportunities: Leadership supports professional development and encourages upward mobility within the organization. I've had multiple opportunities to grow into new roles and responsibilities. -Strong Leadership: The small executive team is approachable, transparent, and focused on both the company’s and employees' success. -Collaborative Culture: The team genuinely works well together. Everyone shares a commitment to learner outcomes, fostering an environment of mutual respect and support. -Employee Perks: Regular offsite retreats, opportunities for remote work, and engaging team-building activities make it a fun place to work!
Cons
-Rapid growth means things can feel fast-paced and occasionally chaotic. However, this also brings exciting opportunities to contribute and make an impact. -Some processes are still being optimized as the company scales, but leadership is proactive about addressing areas for improvement.
