      Pros

      Upwork is a company that provides a significant value to people seeking to work and hire worldwide. Being a part of this transformation of where and how work gets done is extremely rewarding. This inherently creates a strong sense of work-life-balance since location and daily hours are very flexible. The team is strong and works well together with a common goal of improving the ability for the freelancers and clients on the platform to improve their lives.

      Cons

      The company is going through some growing pains as a result of its success. This has resulted in some changes in technology and team members to end up in the strongest position going-forward. To aid in this, the company has been investing heavily in infrastructure and an a culture that empowers individuals throughout the organization.
