Pros

I've enjoyed working for Upwork during my time here for a number of reasons. I work in Business Development, and the team that I work with was very supportive when I started. The work environment is very "Silicon Valley-esque", in the sense that things are always changing, and management is always open to new ideas.

Cons

I don't see many downsides of working for Upwork. We're really the largest player in the industry, so competition is almost non-existent when selling. Other than that, I'm happy here.

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.
