      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.

      Pros

      Fantastic and experience team of dedicated and team-oriented members.

      Cons

      Organization is very compartmentalized. Info not shared well across departments and teams, leading to duplication of efforts and needless 'reinventing the wheel', a waste of time and resources. Technology platform can be challenging/buggy, but is improving.

      Pros

      Still acts like a small company. No meaningful politics and lots of empowerment Great business model - The merger is behind them

      Cons

      We still try to do too much for the number of employees we have
