Pros
The best part about Upwork is that we are empowering folks around the globe with the tools to freelance and get work done wherever they are. It's inspiring to hear real stories from freelancers that have improved their lives because of Upwork. As an employee, there is minimal micromanaging; employees are given the tools to do their jobs and are trusted to get the work done. Beautiful workspace, liberal work from home policies, free lunch & snacks, and plenty of extracurriculars.
Cons
Mediocrity is tolerated up to a point. Takes longer to cut the fat than it should. However, I would probably make the same comment about most companies that I've worked for.
