its impossible to navigate to their… its impossible to navigate to their website....whoever build their UX was a drunk monkey on steroids. You cant find talent here even if you try. They also dont let you contact the person you want to hire since they KNOW that at first question, anybody will notice that talent dosent have a clue about what he is talking about.

Poor success rate I’ve used the site 4 times and only once have I received what was paid for. Full of untrustworthy freelancers who just do not deliver on tasks.

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

Lots of good experiences over many years I've used Upwork for many years for all kinds of projects and it really is pretty good. Perhaps if you are having trouble with your projects perhaps it is because you are picking the wrong clients or freelancers? ...that isn't really Upwork's fault. I will say Upwork login/password procedures are quite awkward. More than any other website I have used I have had password issues. The issue when resetting password it asks you to verify in app ...which is no good if you are not logged into the app. Extremely frustrating

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.
