Terrible website full of sharks and… Terrible website full of sharks and there is NO protection or customer service. We found a freelancer on Upwork - who caused us so much damage. They also sneakily get you to sign up to there dreadful service and its impossible to find out how to stop the subscription. All automated CS no one interest and couldn't give a damn. Still trying to contact them - the chat is a BOT not a person

Not recommend to anyone Not recommend to anyone, nor freelancer neither clients. Was the best freelance platform. Now it's the worst. - Average bid cost is about 3$ while average project cost is 10$. - About 85% of projects posted are fake. - Service fee is 2 times larger than it was year ago. - Awful support (looks like it doesn't exist at all). - Scammers scammers scammers. Extremely greedy company who ruins their business themselves.

Complete waste of time and money A complete waste of time and money. Their pro membership gives you more connects, but it doesn't help you get work. When you're starting from scratch its literally impossible to get work without any reviews. You can be the most talented, experienced professional in your field but you'll lose out to a cheap off-shore solution. I've spent hundred of dollars on membership, sending proposals, cutting costs to the point of it not even being worth it, and still no interest.

Suspension for no reason!! I have urgent work and my account got suspended multiple times for no reason. I literally did nothing to get my account suspended! And now they don't even respond to me. Absolutely unacceptable customer service.

site that extracts data and money Freelancers have to make a public profile with a photo of their face, first name and city, which is enough information to identify you if you live in a smaller town or just have an unique name - at the same time it doesn't influence scammers with a very common name or those who are unreachable anyway. Clients don't have to do the same and there are lots of scams. You need to pay upwork to apply for jobs, so freelancers are basically paying to get scammed. At the same time, actual clients aren't happy with the results, as the site focuses more on people's appearance and names (this whole site looks like Facebook), rather than verifying their portfolio and work experience. It is a perfect place to mine data though.
