I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Upwork (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
The interview process was very long but everyone at Upwork is very nice and rooting for you throughout the interview process. However, they don't do a good job in assessing experience and fit, which can be a time suck. My interview process started with screener, hiring manager, HW, meeting with exec. I didn't get that role due to experience (which they should've known in screener and HW) so they suggested another role. I went through a similar process with hiring manager, exec, on-site with ~5 people. I didn't end up getting the position due to experience (same as before). My suggestion - they don't do a good job in assessing past experience and fit. Make sure you do it yourself before moving forward with the interviews and spending ~2 months interviewing! Overall, good company and communication was great.
