      Pros

      Upwork is a leader in remote employee engagement and people-centric policies. I was skeptical at first about all the women's and diversity programming but all their inclusionary practices are legit value-driven. If you want to belong and be included, you will be welcomed here.

      Cons

      Pay is not as competitive as other similar tech companies in the immediate area.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

      Cons

      Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
