Pros

- Upwork provides real economic opportunity to freelancers around the world. Look at some of the reviews here; a lot of the positive ones are from people who clearly found work THROUGH Upwork and love the company as a result. This is a good thing, but it distorts their reputation on Glassdoor because those people don't actually work FOR the company. - WLB was good before I left. - The company's raison d'être is worthwhile.

Cons

- The C-suite has been a revolving door over the last year except for the CEO. She is the constant during this downturn and, as others have pointed out, deserves to be let go. I can't believe activist investors haven't demanded that she be fired as the stock price is in the gutter and guidance is only getting worse. - Generative AI represents a real threat to the company. There is no compelling reason to hire a logo designer, contract for data entry, etc. in the future if AI can do it for you. Based on current trends, this company will struggle to integrate any type of compelling AI into their product while it eats away at their core value prop to customers. - Ancient tech stack that makes work impossible. - Testing methodology is slow and incremental improvements are treated as huge victories. They miss the forest for the trees.

Pros

There were a lot of in-office perks, competitive pay, good benefits, and at the time (2019) the concept of companies hiring remote talent was new and intriguing to clients.

Cons

The culture of the sales team was pretty competitive and cold. At times it felt like a popularity contest with management. My direct manager got let go for some reason soon after I started, and then I was eventually let go for missing dials targets (but being well above revenue targets) a couple months in a row. I was never put on a performance plan. Almost half of my book of 16 businesses were either international in crazy time zones, or were accounts that I was told I couldn't call because the last rep who had them harassed them too much. It made it difficult to hit my dials without harassing my contacts, but after the initial conversation with my new boss about not hitting dials, I exceeded the dials target the next month (and again exceeded revenue goals), but I was still let go. Just seemed like they didn't want me there anymore after they already fired the person who hired me.
