Pros

Incredible perks - unlimited PTO, free catered lunch everyday and breakfast once a week, pantry’s stocked with food and drinks on tap, Uber/lyft discounts, work from home every Wednesday, get to be flown to San Francisco often for company events, super fun competitive collaborative teams with a culture driven towards growth all the time, such a fun group of ages and personalities that all mesh together so well

Cons

Lots of change goes on at Upwork (but that’s a good thing too)

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.
