I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Upwork
Interview
It was overall a really good interview experience! The recruiter was friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in my background. Even though I didn't move forward I enjoyed the experience and learning more about the company.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Upwork (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2019
Interview
It took six interviews for them to notice I was black and didn't want to move forward. There isn't enough diversity with this company. I've heard they're trying to diversify much more but I'm not sure how true this is.

Be prepared to talk about past experience and how that relates to the role you’re applying. I was told I was getting the job and even submitted references that were requested. I never heard from them again! I sent follow up emails to the HR recruiter and was told it wasn’t finalized but I was getting the job. I ended up accepting another position with another company. But to this day I never heard back. Very unprofessional!!
