Upwork reviews

-Most of the Managers do not truly listen to issues and most lack empathy. You are NOT a good manager if you don’t have it. -The pay structure is unimpressive compared to other tech companies especially when you actually have true skills. -People don’t get paid what they deserve. Either too much or not enough. -Favoritism is a wild theme here. Leads to poor morale. I guess friends come first. -Getting lied straight to your face is disrespectful, especially regarding work feedback. -The turnover rate has gotten out of hand. That needs to be talked about seriously. -Seems like only the sales team is cared about, even though other teams keep things running as well. However, I’ve heard from many sales staff members regarding bad treatment.

The Enterprise new business team (AE, BDR) is very much still figuring it out. BDR books are very messy and lack direction. Majority of AEs did not even hit 50% of quota in 2020. Whole sales org went through a huge layoff and restructure, eliminating 60 roles to focus on bigger enterprise. Performance plans are a big part of the culture. Leaders work hard but lack experience. Its a tough sell with not as big a market as the company first predicted and now they're paying for it. If you're a good enterprise level sales rep, you'll make more money pretty much anywhere else with less of a struggle. If you're a BDR, there is a limited career path here with many people in front of you to get promoted.
