Upwork has been my trusted platform for finding freelance opportunities and connecting with clients from around the world. The platform's vast network of clients and freelancers, comprehensive job listings, and secure payment system make it easy to find meaningful projects and build a successful freelance career. I appreciate Upwork's commitment to transparency and professionalism, as seen in its dispute resolution process and feedback system, which ensure fair and equitable transactions for both parties. Moreover, the platform's collaboration tools and communication features enhance teamwork and streamline project management. With Upwork, freelancing is not just a job—it's a rewarding and fulfilling career.
Business practices are arbitrary and unfair with the cost for freelancers of doing business on the site constantly increasing and various services and perks taken away. Not worth it for freelancers--and clients don't fare much better.
I recommend upwork to anyone. I am very happy with upwork. Our local freelancers are also happy with this platform. Thanks

I didn't use my ID for 2 years and after I came back to work again on Upwork(that's what they call it now). I used 15 connects on a few jobs that i used to get in the past very easily but i didn't even get a text response back, i thought may be the competition has got a new level so I will have to try hard and apply on more jobs and wait for my shot!
Anway, i went on a break hoping to start applying on jobs after a few days and then after a week out of nowhere i got an email informing me that my account has been suspended because i applied on too many jobs...
REALLY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IS THIS A JOKE? I came back after such a long time and used 15 CONNECTS AND YOU SUSPEND ME...
I wrote back to them review my profile manually, they sent me some auto-boot emails asking me for lots of information and told me they will review my profile... I wrote them back with details and they within 20 minutes later replied me that we reviewed your profile and we're staying on our decision and we will not change this.
Its like that they had already decided to screw me up because you cant manually review a profile manually within 10/20 minutes and tell me a very important decision. A profile which has a history of a bunch of projects which were done years ago.

Hello all start reporting Upwork to the FCC and the Securities and Exchange Commission thats the federal level then also each state in the US has a consumer protection agency at that states Attorney generals office also each state has a labor board that you can report to so thats the state level you can also report to and this info is for both Freelancers and people or companies that hire the Freelancers that have been wronged by Upwork If there is money being held by Upwork some states will suspend them from doing any business in that state until these issues are resolved in some states you can literally shut them down and flood them with legal issues such as state licenses and getting bonded in that state etc etc
I had several thousands of dollars invested in Upworks stock since they became a publicly traded company but after reading all the nightmare reviews I have dumped all the stocks I had in this company I wish you all well and remember there are scammers on both ends here but when the base company seems to also be scamming Freelancers and the people or companies hiring them just is not a good formula for an investment or to do business with in any form
