I couldn't think of a title but will, when I get to the end of this review.

My experience with Upwork has been fascinating and it just keeps getting better. I love the exposure you get and the variety of people looking for services on Upwork. Their payment procedures are the safest, and how cool is a team that supports you by warning you of any fishy attempts of the opposite party (aka the clients) trying to move the conversation or payment outside of Upwork. It is like working but under the supervision of a dear friend or a wellwisher. Upwork has got your back every time. They have their own messaging, video call, and screen share options that you do not need to take your conversation elsewhere. And the time tracking software, fro pc., is the best. It achieves the same purpose as CCTV cams do in workspaces.
Yes, Upwork might charge a big commission on all my earnings, but the protection and ease I get in return are worth it. Also, the necessity of linking a bank account to the Upwork profile, makes it classified, keeping all the unprofessional filtered out, already ensuring good quality service, thus attracting Sophisticated clients.
I recommend all my peers to get signed up with Upwork, even the ones with full-time real-world jobs because those are not certain.
Good supporting team and on Upwork, we will get the only real client. I have been working last 3 years

It is good platform for business. I am very happy. I am working on upwork from 4 year. It is good for me.
I have been working on Upwork for 2 years now and I never have any issues with them. I consider them as the best Freelancing platform on the internet.
I have started my journey before 4 years with Upwork! Now Upwork is more than something for me! I can't explain it properly! I just take our relationship longer and want to make my carrier with the Upwork platform!
They have a very good support team who helps me out whenever I need help. It has been a good side-income for me.
I've been using Upwork as a Freelancer to find remote work for awhile now. It has been a very reliable source for finding remote work and usually when one contract ends I'm able to find work with in 2-3 days. The support staff are always quick to reply with questions and I'd defitnally recommend Upwork!
Upwork supports me a lot in this epidemic (COVID-19) situation and hopefully it will continue in future. Upwork contribute his part to provide rich talent in this world. Thanks Upwork
I have been using the Upwork since 2014. It is the best platform for both business owners and freelancers. This platform helps to connect best talent for your business. Highly recommended Upwork for any and every online business. I love you Upwork.
I am new to upwork, and I never thought that I will be able to lock about 6000$'s projects in first 15 days of my signup. It has been a great opportunity, and a learning experience for me and I hope to be part of the upwork family till my last breath.
Long story short, I was in search of a job of a web developer. I tried to find local job in Russia but the prices companies offered for my job was unsatisfying for me. I had an upwork account and decided to try it working there. I grew up fast during 1 month. Picked up the first client and now I am having a bunch of clients and a lot of job. I raised my skills as a developer and come closer to my life goals much faster than I expected. Highly recommend this platform especially if you have some skills.
I'm working as a freelancer since 2012 in Upwork. Upwork is a true place for the people who are like to work as a bird. You can fly anytime and when you need some urgent money you can try in this marketplace and hopefully I think you will be the lucky person. Hard work gives you true happiness and Upwork will help you a little bit more to build your career.
Awesome user experience and also great payment security ( always ensure your clients pay for your work). Love it.
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!
