Upwork

Upwork has helped me take more control of my career by enabling me to connect with clients from all around the world and giving me the chance to prove my competence through their Job Success Score algorithm.

It's not perfect and paying for connects is kind of annoying, but the benefits of the platform greatly outnumber the negatives. It's really hard to judge Upwork if you've never used it. Freelancers who find success on Upwork, love it. Upwork is just a tool, and I'm grateful for it.

I started my journey a few months back with the least expectation of earning from Upwork like playing gambling. A few months later it turned out to be an important indicator of my life and a reliable source of my income.

I had a wonderful experience and had some great clients with awesome projects. With my hard work, it not only started paying off but also inspiring me more and more. Now I am much more confident on myself for handling much bigger projects and leading teams.

My utter gratitude to Upwork fpr providing such opportunity.

Thank you for this opportunity Upwork. I don't have any experiences in freelancing yet I was given a chance to earn something with the help of my skills and doing things that I love. Thank youu upwork!

Upwork Trust & Safety

I did not even get a chance to add details to the account so why suspend! Horrible, Horrible company

Upwork changed my life, literally. The professionalism in how they manage contracts between the two sides is top class. You feel 100% safe before starting any contract and the other side as well. Upwork makes you feel safe and secure about getting the job done without hassles. I only concentrate on my work other than anything else, which is why Upwork is considered as a perk for me! Watchout for their seminars on how to be successful as a freelancer and their lovely supporting community. Thank you Upwork and wish you all the best.

Upwork has worst support system ever.

THREE MONTHS! Have passed since my application.
There is no solution to the problem with my profile.

I write more and more new messages to my ticket, but I only get "the issue was transferred to our Technical team."

I have worked with Upwork for 7 years now and have a great reputation, but now I am not getting new orders at all because my profile is not working.

Be careful when working with this company. You may one day get similar problems with tech support.

I need help in getting back my Upwork account. It has been suspended today without any official email or any notification. I can still reach out to existing clients but can't apply for proposals. This is strange as I didn't commit any violation of the code of conduct. Need urgent help to fix this matter. Thanks in advance

Upwork has an excellent community and way of giving people job based on how active they are on platform. They wont put too much work on your plate. Con is they are charging 20% fee on the first time client that hurts freelancer a lot

As a freelancer on the Upwork platform, I've had just about the most unprofessional experience in freelancing ever...

Their support sucks... to put it easy. Unless your a client or a top earning freelancer -- Upwork doesn't care about you.

Upwork has a really shabby support team that is dis-interested in your problems... They don't offer a phone number, or even basic live chat to help sort out your problems... Instead they have a ticket system which takes them 2 days to respond to. If you're looking to resolve a problem via their support, expect to wait a minimum of a week to get anything sorted out

Upwork expects to take 20% of your earnings for some unknown reason... it's definitely not for their support team... they claim it's for payment protection or what not, but I have not experienced this so called "payment protection"

If you're looking to freelance on some platform, give Upwork a pass.

I've started working on Upwork a few months ago and it has changed the perspective on freelancing. Upwork did a tremendous job for me in finding the right clients for my skills. I wish they continue their journey like this and keep changing people's lives.

UpWork has been fantastic to me. It has put me in contact with multiple brands and clients who have both enhanced my portfolio while I help them bring their business visions to life. They ensure that I get paid - which is pretty hard these days - and they hold me to a standard so make sure I am producing the work I am being paid to do. The fees are there, but the profit makes up for it. It is better than working freelance and not sure if the client is going to pay. I recommend it to everyone I know. 10/10.

I'm working here since September 2020, from then I got very good opportunity to work with people's around the globe.
And as the pendemic hit the world, this platform has provided a great opportunity to people's like us...
Thank you.
Upwork!

I have been using Upwork for a few years now. Because of some personal reasons I had to leave my work and stay at home. Upwork made starting to work as a freelancer so much easier for me. The whole process of getting work, delivering it and getting paid is facilitated and protected. When I am working on Upwork I know for sure that I will get my payment. I feel if you work hard persistently on Upwork, then you can earn a decent amount from your home. A perfect solution for me.
