Why It's a Great Employer
Upshot has a "culture mission" it says encourages people to challenge conventional thinking. Employees' art work is on display throughout the office and the firm sponsors competitions for employees to demonstrate skills such as their long jump or slowest-bike-riding abilities. At the company's annual off-site meeting, employees receive awards including "The MacGyver" (for the employee who has an answer for any situation) and "The Optimist" (who keeps a positive attitude despite obstacles). Upshot hosts an all-agency happy hour called "Schbooze" on the third Thursday of each month, creating a forum for employees and management to mingle and chat in a casual environment.Employee Perks
