Pros
Nice office, people were easy to work with, stipend was joining to equip home office and tech supplied was good (plus got to keep the tech when laidoff)
Cons
I spent eight months at Upwork in 2022 before being impacted by a company-wide reduction in force that affected 150 employees. Since then, I’ve noticed a troubling pattern each year, around the same time, Upwork announces another large-scale layoff. You would think a company like Upwork would learn from past mistakes but it seems like it a continuous cycle at this employer
