      Pros

      The benefits are great. I’ve heard it used to be a great place to work.

      Cons

      Don’t even know where to start. The company is run by the Career Builder Rejects.

      Pros

      Great benefits including unlimited paid time off, opportunity to work remotely

      Cons

      Departments do not work together cohesively, leadership cherry picks from the glint surveys. Some managers are not leadership material, just micromanagers with a title

      Pros

      Great pay, fun place to work in regards to the offices.

      Cons

      The merger with Elance and oDesk (now Upwork) has caused continual confusion in policies, procedures and standards Stephane Kasriel has made drastic mistakes in running this business.
