Upwork Reviews

Pros

This is a company that cares about its employees! They were among the first of the companies to send everyone home when COVID came to the US in an abundance of caution. I have also been very impressed with how employees who are strong performers (both FTE and Contract) are recognized for their contributions and promoted from within. I also see people transfer internally when there is a role that is more aligned with their interests. One of the best things about this company is the people that work here, smart, kind, and motivated colleagues make me enjoy work! I think this company has a tremendous amount of potential, especially in this new world of remote work.

Cons

This is not a con, but you will be expected to perform at a high level here! If you are looking for a company where can disappear into the crowd, this is not it. If you are looking for a company where you can make an impact and get visibility for the hard work you contribute, then this is that!

Pros

This is a great company. I definitely "drink the koolaid" here. The culture is very supportive, the people are smart and hard working, and the leadership team is authentic, encouraging more comfortable, friendly working relationships. The main thing that is great about this company is that people really believe in the mission - which is to create opportunities so people have better lives and it is central to what we do. It's a rare company where you can do good by doing well.

Cons

I don't really think there are cons - I will acknowledge there have been a lot of changes lately, and while that can be hard, it isn't a con as I think all the changes are making the company stronger. No company is perfect, but I'm surprised at so many negative reviews; though you can never make everyone happy. The company tries hard to seek input from workers, so it is a bummer that folks are so unhappy and yet don't report it to the company - a lot of the complaints seem like they could be resolved if people raised them.
