Pros

I was a freelancer before Upwork found me for an internal role. Upwork is a company with a purpose/mission that aligns with my heart. The company has a clear direction and amazing resources to reach the goals. When you are blazing a new industry path that is uncharted territory, the work is stimulating and challenging, which can get emotionally exhausting yet exciting! Great technology, recognition, excellent benefits and the chance to work with industry thought leaders. A place to truly stretch yourself professionally.

Cons

When you grow at a rapid pace and are changing the way the world works, there is lots of work to tackle and never enough time to get it all done.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
