      Pros

      The best part of the company is that it is constantly trying to improve. Whether it's the product or the actual work-place, they are trying everyday to make things better for it's employees and the Freelancers and Clients that use the site. Upwork isn't afraid to take chances and is great about hiring individuals with diverse backgrounds and experience to fill roles that may be unconventional. Extremely flexible with working from home/remote.

      Cons

      The benefits could be better...no 401k matching, perks like other big companies.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Brilliant cause: global access to work opportunities and to talent Awesome culture: still in the start-up thinking and execution style, relatively agile and lean Good management: metrics driven, structured goals, plans and strategies Work life balance: very considerate management, work from home, etc.

      Cons

      Growing pains: people are more protective of their area, new initiatives require more coordination with various stakeholders, new hires are the majority and hence maintaining culture is proving to be tricky
