Pros

Fun loving team. Everyone gets along. Your opinion and ideas are highly valued. Everyone is willing to help. Team is always growing and you are able to explore other opportunities in the company. Plus, because Enterprise is still relatively young you see your work directly impact our success. Not to mention, all of the perks Silicon Valley-based companies offer; Unlimited PTO, catered lunch, remote options, casual dress, etc.

Cons

Upwork's Enterprise organization is relatively young, occasionally you run into the typical growing pains of a start-up, for example not having certain processes and procedures in place. That is all getting better with time.

Thanks for taking the time to share feedback! I completely agree that ENT is critical to our success and your work is directly impacting that. Let me or the rest of the team know how we can continue to work on the growing pains. Hopefully now we have the new office some of those will take care of themselves! thanks again!

Pros

Upwork has a good social mission and a fun and energetic corporate culture. Good open door policy by taking away personal offices. You can work right next to the CEO. Fun events, free lunch every day, Wed is work from home. Everyone is working for the same goal, so there is a lot of cross functioning.

Cons

Internships did not lead to full time positions, so that was disappointing because I loved working there.

Thanks for your feedback! We very much want our internships to be a route to full time roles. Let's keep in touch as you finish school (assuming you returned for another year or two....if not let me know!).
