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.
Love to working on Upwork! Great Platform, I am using since 2013 outstanding experience on It other freelance site not like as upwork
Best platform for freelancers, a chance for students to polish their skills and earn some career along with helping people in their work.
It's an honor to be here on this platform to your dreams come true. It is the best place to earn and shine.
Great place for work remotely with different countries, different peoples and cultures. Highly recommended,
Upwork is really great platform to earn with your quality work.
But there is too much crowd you should have to spend many connections to get a job.
I have been on the Upwork platform for 5 years and it's great. It is my primary source of income and I have over 500 very satisfied customers.
Upwork site is my favorite. I enjoy working here. I am optimistic that I will be able to build my career in the future.
This website helped me in starting my journey in game development freelancing, I joined this website for 8 days and just got 2 contracts.
If you are new to freelancing do not work here.
Experienced freelancers are dying on this platform.
Too many freelancers and not enough clients.
Clients are often scammers so be very careful.
Their ranking system will punish you and your Job Success score if you make "ANY" mistake. Once you are below 90% you will never get work again.
Their ranking system punishes freelancers if the client does not leave feedback - Your fault.
Their ranking system will punish you if there are any problems with a job.
Bad clients only need complain and Upwork will give them all your money back. Even if you did a good job and can prove it. You'll also be punished again.
Feedback from Elance jobs from 1-2 years ago will go against you if none was left. You have no control over this and you are punished.
The system crashes 3-5 times a week.
The message system constantly breaking down and if you miss a job offer, you are punished.
Wording on the site is done by non English speaking people.
English language - Masterful is considered the same as Native English?
New jobs are listed as Recency?
The CEO does not seem to have any idea what his people are doing to ruin this site.
Odesk used to be a good place to work. Upwork is very scary with all the hundreds of rules you MUST know.
Great freelancers with 5 years + experience cannot get jobs unless their rates are really low.
Clients are very cheap. $5 jobs are everywhere and mostly scammers.
Customer support people are not English speakers for the most part and can only copy and past canned answers.
There is no help for freelancers.
Clients do not know how to use this complicated platform.
Never work for a new client. It will cost you Job Success points.
The overall experience is awful and very stressful and very difficult for new people.
I would never recommend this site to anyone.
Upwork is outstanding platform for freelancers. I protects both sides rights. Methodolgy is ver standardized to learn easily.
