Upwork reviews

Unsure about their future. I was one of the 60 employees they let go when they decided to eliminate the mid-market product offering. There are a lot of things they are still trying to figure out from organizational and sales process perspectives. Things might be different with their new sales structure, however I only knew of 1 AE that was on track to hit their yearly quota. Also, they did not put their (what I thought was agreed upon) contributions toward my 401k, since I wasn't there for a year, which I found insulting considering they fired me. That left a very bad taste in my mouth.

- Paid by the hour, no PTO. This has changed since I left, but for people who are effective in their work, it was challenging - Different benefits for local than remote. It's unintuitive for a company that wants to push remote first. For example remote people weren't entitled stock options, no matter the role, effort or appreciation they were getting. - A lot of things and meetings happened in PST. If you were working from Europe this could be a problem.
