Upraised - honest reviews!
Hello guys, Need insights from folks who have been part of the Upraised program on product mgmt. Does it help in changing career track to product mgmt? I have total 6 yrs exp ( 4 yrs are post MBA in entrepreneurship and business & product strategy). Need honest reviews.
I was part of their program and will not recommend. Ultimately they find ways to keep you away from the placement track. They can't get you placed. Forget placements, no one is our cohort got shortlists. Those idiots will speak all nicely when you start and it is downhill once you finish phase 2. They find lame excuses to make your placement and refund policy void.
But everyone should learn from their founder. Excellent person, knows all means to manipulate you and others. When we as a group of 30 confronted her about their inability to get us placed she neatly created a ruckus between us. Heard of Divide and rule? we experienced it by her.
They don't reply to your emails and slack. Such a incompetent team. I don't think they are making money anymore. Their slack is downgraded to basic. Or maybe because they didn't want us to get access to their promised messages.
Don't waste your money. Use that money + time to build + market a product as a side project. Scale to $100 MRR, use that exp. To get a PM role.
dude, please bring this to public light by posting review on Google and LinkedIn.. they always can't escape

This is so accurate, it deserves an award. I agree that this truth needs to be expressed more in the public domain for scamsters like them to stop looting people.

I was part of their program. Civil engineer by background, had 6 years of consulting experience & got placed in a product role.
You can never expect 100% placement. Many people from my batch did not even complete their modules or show up for live sessions.
They can get you a foot in the door, but you have to be ready to put the effort from your end.

Upraised is very good if you are looking for PM roles and below.
Also, it majorly serves if you are not an MBA because they will place you under someone with lower experience than you. (Im assuming you are Tier 1 MBA)
To add another point, their course is very basic, you need to put in extra effort to understand tech if you don’t.
Summing up —> Not Tier 1 MBA with a CTC < 25L, would highly recommend else not.
