Pros

The mission of the company is really interesting. Facilitating a global workforce really helps pair entrepreneurs with resources that would be hard to find otherwise. They enable a lot of innovation. The product in really impactful b/c it is the livelihood for many freelancers and is a crucial tool for business owners. Also, every Wednesday employees get to work from home which helps the practice of collaborating online. It's an important skill b/c UpWork uses it's own platform to source talent. My entire development team was remote in the Ukraine, Russia, and Moldova. They need to target the enterprise more b/c that is where the revenue opportunity lies.

Advice to Management

Target and build more features for the enterprise. It looks like you are finally headed this direction. Hire more senior people so the CEO isn't also the head of engineering and the head of product. No good. Pay your people more. You are way under market. Probably b/c of the work from home Wednesdays.

Pros

Ideal people to work with and fab leadership on many levels. Company invests in staff and maintains positive goals.

Advice to Management

Keep empowering your staff.

Pros

Nice perks, cool friendly people, beautiful office, ability to work remote.

Pros

I love Upwork! It’s a complete match made in Heaven for me and here’s WHY!

I absolutely love the people! Everyone I’ve had the pleasure to connect with has been nothing short of amazing. The people here are very passionate, mission-driven, collaborative, intelligent and are truly talented. Additionally, everyone cares about one another on a human level which is wildly respectable in my book!

I genuinely value the culture and work environment that Upwork has worked hard to build and maintain. I feel like I actually belong, I feel like I am appreciated. I love that I am able to voice my concern even if it means going against the grain. My voice is heard and it’s respected.

And I, of course, love the work that not only I do specifically, but what the company does as a whole. The impact we have on others is astounding! We provide opportunities to workers. And this goes far beyond just providing them a job assignment to receive a simple paycheck.

Also, there are excellent employee benefits and perks!

Long story short, I’ve never worked for a better company.

Advice to Management

Continue to care for your employees. Continue to value their input and respect their opinions and ideas. Continue to listen to your employees. I've seen many companies fall short and not take the time to genuinely focus on their employees.

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.

Advice to Management

Continue to provide clear direction and goals with the resources to get there.
