People who leave UPS most often go to a long tail of companies. 17% go small

These are the engineers in the Zelcast network and the profiles run through the Eng Scorer, not UPS's headcount: 30 people on a map of 26,572, the No. 325 company on it by people. Updated August 20, 2026.

Behind the median

Everyone here with an Eng Scorer read, placed in their caliber tier.

  • 13%Strong4 people
  • 13%Solid4 people
  • 73%Emerging or unproven22 people

30 of the 30 people here carry an Eng Scorer tier.

Exceptional and strong are the top two of the five tiers. 4 of the 30 people here with a read sit in them, 13%. A tier is the band an Eng Scorer caliber score falls in, so this is the same measurement as the median on the caliber card, opened up. A tier holding fewer than 3 people is printed together with the one next to it, because a bucket that small is a person rather than a pattern.

Whether a title rose here

The level of the first title recorded here, against the last.

33%Titles that rose8 of 24 classified people

  • 33%Rose8 people
  • 67%Stayed level or fell16 people

24 of the 30 people here had a title that could be placed on the ladder before and after.

A title rose when the last title recorded here sits higher on the ladder than the first; for someone who recorded one title here and then left, it is measured against the first title of their next role. The ladder runs intern, junior, mid, senior, staff or manager, principal, director, VP, then founder or C-level. A title that matches no rung is left out rather than guessed, and product, program and project managers are left out entirely, being a different ladder. That leaves 24 of the 30 people here classified, and it leans towards people who have left: someone still here on a single recorded title has nothing to be measured against. A direction holding fewer than 3 people is printed together with the one next to it, because a bucket that small is a person rather than a pattern.

Where they studied

The 3 most listed schools among the 30 people here with a school on file.

Of the 30 people here with a school on file, 6 list Rutgers, 4 list Georgia Tech and 3 list University of Maryland. A person can list more than one school, so these overlap rather than add up.

Public work

20%have a public GitHub account on their profile

6 of the 30 people here whose profile was checked for public accounts. An account the check did not find reads the same as no account, so this is a floor rather than a census.

Across the 325 companies on the map that can show this figure, the median is 38%.

Where they are now

53% of the people who have worked at UPS and list a location live in New York today, against 33% of everyone on the map.

Where they live now, from the profile as it reads today, not where they sat while they worked at UPS: a metro here does not mean the company has an office in it. The lower strip is the same metros across the whole map, for comparison.
