Pros

free breakfast and free lunch

Cons

the Chicago office has no direction, continue to not be able to deliver on promises, constantly change parameters, fire people left and right, and have quite a few spineless managers. all you have to do is take a look at upwork's stock price to understand what type of company it is. they do not care about their employees at all and are extremely two-faced.

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.
