Pros

I loved working at Upwork and would recommend as a great place to work. The HR team really cares about benefits.

Cons

Upwork is very top heavy and managers get cc'd on all communications which prevent a lot of employee empowerment.

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.
