Pros

People genuinely care about the mission, the international focus and the changing nature of work. Good amount of flexibility around hours, ability to work in different offices, very social and flat culture.

Cons

The product is sometimes buggy, resulting in issues for freelancers. Large marketplace means there are some bad actors on both the client and freelancer side that are difficult to address in a fair and consistent way.

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.
