Pros
Pays well when you are doing well, company culture is good when the company is doing well. If you are an IC you will definitely get some solid development, if you are a leader you will just have to figure it out
Cons
Upworks biggest problem is that its product is not sophisticated enough to really compete with large talent providers, its leaders are too busy fighting over whether its a staffing company or a tech platform - 2 CEOs, 4 CFOs, 4 CMOs, 3 GMs of Enterprise, No CRO, Multiple Engineering and Product leaders since going public - no leadership development or advance training
