I joined upwork about 6 month ago. I am glad to say that it is best platform i have ever used. Great Features.
Love to working on Upwork! Great Platform, I am using since 2013 outstanding experience on It other freelance site not like as upwork
Thank you, Upwork made this platform. I hope Upwork will best for jobs near the future.
I want to also part of success.
Great place for work remotely with different countries, different peoples and cultures. Highly recommended,
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 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.
This website helped me in starting my journey in game development freelancing, I joined this website for 8 days and just got 2 contracts.
Upwork site is my favorite. I enjoy working here. I am optimistic that I will be able to build my career in the future.
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.
I was working on other platforms, but when I came across the UPWORK site, I really felt very lucky, too professional, easy to use, too too secure, I recommend it to all freelancers
Upwork is outstanding platform for freelancers. I protects both sides rights. Methodolgy is ver standardized to learn easily.
Super Excellent & Professional Platform for Jobs and Freelancers in same time. Easy to use Platform, provide professional Tools which make finding Job or finding Freelancer an easy.
My life has been changed because of you Upwork team and I am really happy to work on Upwork as freelancer.
Thank you for making life good.
Upwork is great in reaching my freelancing goals. The website empowers me to utilize my skills to the fullest and find fulfilling and rewarding work.
I'm a html5 animated ads designer and developer. I won a job by applying 13 jobs.
I think it is very helpful
Upwork is great to finding freelancing jobs. Great system and support. I wish they will review their fees and bring it down.
A trusted market place that you can rely on it without doubting. Proud to be a member of this largest job market.
There is a great opportunity to do online business with great talent to work without limits and specially for talented jobless peoples.
Upwork is really a very helpful and professional website. This site is friendly to all parties. I really appreciate it. Thank You.
I am working as a freelance about 2 month in several freelance sites, but the best off all I think is upwork.com.
Answer: They are horrible. Every freelancer I've gotten from Upwork has cost me more to fix the small job they have done. There's absolutely no customer service! I would stay away
Answer: This is not the place to inquire.
Answer: No, just 20% of your job when we talk about fixed price, and same for hourly but after some week it's been 10%
Answer: Go to Settings › Contact Info › Click the Close my account link. If you meet the requirements, click the button to confirm that you want to close your account.
Answer: I am a customer and have had a really horrible experience. Upwork claims a 100% guarantee before you pay anything. That is not true. The process is actually quite horrible. You put money in escrow. You only get your money back after a bad contract if the freelancer agrees to release the money. If the freelancer refuses, you get a bargain offer to still pay them something but still you are paying for a bad job you can't use. Then, if you refuse to bargain over a bad job, you are told that it will cost you an additional $389 to arbitrate with a 3rd party affiliate that the customer (me), the freelancer (scammer) and Upwork (ripoff enabler) has to pay. I took it all the way to arbitration with the end result being that Upwork decided that I was just too uninformed to know their policy and that they would give me a one time only refund of my original amount. What they didn't tell me what that they just gave me a "credit" of my original amount and that was the end. So I am still out the original amount and can't get my money back. This sight is a ripoff. Plain and simple.
Answer: Because of their policy changes which are geared towards the client rather than the freelancer. They have dug their own grave with their policy changes of late.
Answer: Go to Get Paid on PC or Mobile, you will see 3 dots in front of your payment method, tap to select edit/remove to change them. Go to Billing Method on PC under Billing Section and tap three dots to change (edit/remove). Thanks
Answer: Be part and see, dont look at the sold mine reviews people, upwork can bush you to reach.
Answer: I agree with Sam. This place is a scam. They have bad reviews everywhere. Katrina is probably working for them!
