Working at Upwork in Chicago, IL: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Chicago, IL Area

"I have worked with UpWork since January and it gave me the opportunity to be able to write a book, Eat Like a Local- Maryland and continue to grow as a freelance writer."

"Upwork is a very driven company, and they are not shy in letting you know which direction the company is headed in. There is a lot of potential for employees, and there is a sense of building better work lives for freelancers. Management is under a lot of pressure when it comes to driving revenue, which can negatively impact the effectiveness of the sales team. Building client relationships and being strategic is more important than aggressive sales metrics, which is why in my experience a number of companies banned us from prospecting business from their executive teams."
