Upwork reviews

There are a lot of great things about working here that I think are being watered down in reviews, so I feel the need to weigh in. Great benefits, paid parental leave, flexible work schedule and fully remote without any concern of being called back in to the office (which is HUGE for a working parent). Unlimited PTO, and encouraged to take your vacation time. I'm working in tech with some of the brightest people I have ever worked with, and I can do that without moving my family to a super expensive city. I think the platform itself is amazing - we provide the opportunity for people around the world to get jobs that they never would have had access to otherwise. There are people in Ukraine supporting their families using Upwork. It's rare to work for a company with a mission you can get behind.

Not only do we work for an incredibly impactful company but they also take more care of their employees than almost any other company. Rated the best place to work in Chicago, it definitely rings true. Free lunch, breakfast, stocked kitchen, drinks on tap, aggressive employee stock purchase program), stock options, and more. We are shaping the strategy of the company and working with executives from some of the largest companies in the world. The caliber of talent here is barred none. I've been here for a little over two years and as long as we keep our eye on the prize, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
