      Pros

      Working with a bright, internationally diverse team (both corporate employees (1/3 of total headcount) and freelancers (2/3)) who are driven by a clear and inspiring company mission to change the way the world works and create professional opportunity for millions.

      Cons

      Eating our own dogfood (working with a partially distributed team) can be challenging. Lots of technical debt from legacy platforms, Elance and oDesk, that will take years to resolve.

      Pros

      Great mission, market leader, pre-IPO "unicorn" with presence on the Peninsula and SF, MENSA smart senior management team with tons of internet marketplace experience, nice benefits, evolving culture that is positive, and raising the bar in all aspects. Fun to be part of the journey! Humble management team that simply rocks.

      Cons

      Base compensation somewhat behind market, but senior management team looking to do the right thing to keep the best employees.

      Pros

      I've enjoyed working for Upwork during my time here for a number of reasons. I work in Business Development, and the team that I work with was very supportive when I started. The work environment is very "Silicon Valley-esque", in the sense that things are always changing, and management is always open to new ideas.

      Cons

      I don't see many downsides of working for Upwork. We're really the largest player in the industry, so competition is almost non-existent when selling. Other than that, I'm happy here.
