Upwork

By any scale a WORST COMPANY.

This Company's motto is to how to steal your money. As a Client, you will come across Freelancers who will falsely promised you to set a Milestone to have the Project delivered.

Then these Freelancers will take your money and will run away.

They make false promise and UpWork is completely involved in this Practice.

Don't do any business with UpWork

I talked with upwork to recover my account cos my account was suddenly deactivated.
I even submitted my personal informations like idcard and bank statements, but they are all scammers!
They just got them and closed my account.
I hate upwork!
They are all scammers and report this site to online community!

But the can't satisfied and ask resubmit new document then i am send Adhar card and Bank statement but they can't be satisfied. Upwork team my both legal document not accept without any reason.

Its totally fraud nothing more my suggestion never use upwork web site for work

My working experience at UpWork started in February. I was working as an SMM-specialist and was involved in 3 projects. Frankly speaking, I didn't like any of my employees because when I started working there was one description of the project I had to accomplish and once I was selected there were some sufficient changes in it.

It has been a very long journey here on the platform. I started as a hobbie but it growth so much. Making a good work and stablishing a good relationship with long term clients really makes the difference. I'm really gatefull, I was able to finish my house and buy a car thanks to this.

People on this platform did not evolve with the rest of us normal people.
That is all i have to say because i don't want to start a debate on what one person has said then what the other one has said...

It is just a useless website with fake job offer posted automatically and if you actually get a job you will get payed almost nothing after taxes, fees and withdrawal fees that NOT EVEN PAYPAL charges anymore!

Upwork provides everything that a jobseeker needs -- tips on how to get hired, payment, and protection. The connects system helped me to be frugal and strategize to get hired without wasting my connects. The JSS and badges are also my motivation to work and learn more.

Upwork is an excellent platform to connect with businesses and work for them. I really enjoy the working on this platform and it's highly recommend site for every type of person

I have found the CS to be okay and looks to be interesting projects but i the JSS is a mystery wrapped in an enigma and the 20% fee is absurd. With regard to the JSS, I ask clients to please understand that the very best freelancers sometimes have relatively low scores due to a wacky algorithm. Dear Clients: When choosing a freelancer, please look past the JSS and perform substantive interviews, ask the freelancer about the low score, but above, all please don't decide against someone based on a questionable scoring system. As for the fee, I'm no longer willing to hand over hundreds of dollars to the site just because it provides a forum to find projects--and with a good number of the projects never awarded, posted by unverified users or outright scams this benefit is of somewhat dubious value.

I'm just starting as a freelancer on Upwork. For me it's starting well as I have already found some work in my niche. We will see in the future what's happening!

Upwork wasted my 2-3 months and hundreds of attempts in creating profile. But they NEVER APPROVES ANY NEW PROFILES AT ALL.

The same profile is doing GREAT on all websites like toogit.com, freelancer.com, guru.com, fiverr.com.

I thing upwork is planning to shut down?

I have been with this company for a year and have yet to have been given a job. I have a bachelors in business, I type 70wpm, I am a writer, editor, proofreader, and I am very knowledgeable with technology (one of the best). I added my experience just in case some one has something smart to say about my education.

I'm an italian young woman, and despise my bachelor's degree and my skills I haven't found a job in my country, expecially during the pandemia. With Upwork, I can work with many clients from all over the world that I would have never met, and I can earn as a freelancer.

Working at upwork for last 10 years as a Lead generator. Day by day upwork grew up also I grew up with.
As a full-time remote Lead Generator, I don't need to go to any other marketplace for looking for a job. A lot of clients post their job from whole over the world and we the freelancer providing the best support to them. Without upwork, it wasn't possible and won't be possible. Upwork is transparent for both parties client and freelancer. I'm glad to be a part of upwork.

As a freelancer, I have had relationships with several directories, but I will give a thumps-up to Upwork.
They are the best directory for freelancers.

You have to be bold and persistent to prove yourself and make a success on Upwork! There are numerous job oportunities, and you have to be self-confident enogh to choose to apply to those that best suits your skills. It's fun and profitable.

Honestly this is the best website.
I can talk with customers and share thoughts with.
Earning money is never been easy but this website gives you so much oppurtunities and also you can share you experience with others.
Highly recommanded

I hired a freelancer on upwork to make an app for me.The freelancer logged manual hours and upwork released the funds to him with out asking me if i received anything in return which i had not.So in turn i lost $600.00 and they are putting the blame on me
WHAT A SCAM SITE IT IS

A client owes me 100$ for an underpaid work. Upwork bans me after I submit the work and tells me that if the client pays me, they collect 20% as fee. If the client doesnt pay me I can basically screw myself and cry about it. Winners are keepers, loosers are weepers. Not the exact words, but I cant explain the situation any better. Moreover, customer service gets judgmental on their silly rules rather than my earnings from hard work. My client ignores me, and Upwork doesnt give a $#*!. I am trying to haunt them on social media to remidn them of their responsability to do more for ensuring me one last payment pending. Dont wish to work for them anymore, but ensure my payment.

Upwork is a very good sitr wich provide equal chance to client and freelancer to make a job with full confidence. As a freelancer we should always do the job with upwork because upwork make us secure.

I have been on Upwork for about 8 years and so far I have gained lot of experience and success I actually could work so far over ******* hours only from hourly contracts and lord of other fixed price projects as well the reason for my success is I have always been honest to the upwork and for the clients that I'm dealing with.
While we are working If we face with any kind of issue we can have chat with the people of upwork any time from the live chat platform untill the issue is being resolved, the people we are chatting with very knowledgeable and friendly.
As a freelance I can strongly recommend upwok.

Very disapointed upset and angry.
I hired a Freelancer to do some research. I provided clear guidelines as to the topic and information needed. Within 2 weeks reviewed the work provided - it was clear the Freelancer had not read the guidelines and the research provided was totally unuseable. They then began to bill for work that was not completed. Half way through the contract the Freelancer changed their name and location two times so the original person I contracted with did not appear to be the current person I was dealing with. Support from Upwork identified that the account and person had been banned even though they had opened up again under another name and location. No refund of funds. The whole set up appeared to be scammy. I have learned my lesson I will not use this platform again

Upwork is a great place to source for professionals. As a lawyer, Upwork avails a platform to serve a global pool of clients who have the opportunity to review my services. They also have an escrow protection for both the clients and the freelancers. You may reach out to me by a simple google search of: Opiyo Ochieng Upwork profile.
Thank you Upwork for the platform.
