I do NOT recommend Upwork, it discriminates, its completely unethical and such an insult to you and your work ethics. It is DISGUSTING & HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL. DO NOT RECOMMEND! LEARN TO BE PROFESSIONAL OR CLOSE YOUR BUSINESS!

I have been working on Upwork's platform for so long and I can say honestly is far the BEST place where you can find great projects to work with. Also you can build a business profile that have a huge impact in your career.
The contractors are great, not scammers as other freelancers website, everything is super secure to work, receive in the right time.

Once you get experience on how using the website, how send proposals, how to decide whether is good or bad projecto to work with, the better will be the experience.

You can easily flag bad job offers, which helps the platform to remove bad contractors or just wasters of time and energy.

Love Upwork!

Thanks

I am very happy working on Upwork as it gives me great opportunities to work with business around the globe which otherwise I won't have got.

Most of the clients are very good with communication, requirements & payments. Obviously there have been couple of times where i faced difficulties but that's the case even when you work with clients offline.

Looking forward to work with more businesses and help them succeed in their goals and eventually grow during this process

Terrible
June 1, 2020

I am a long time customer. All starts good. Last company I worked with was Rakvin from India. Agreed on 3000 USD contract with 4 milestones ( 900,900,900,300) after each payments it took them always very long time to raact and now I know why. Upwork is protecting you only 30 days after payment. So finally I lost 2700 USD because after its up to freelancer to refund you or not! I will NEVER again work with Upwork. Their protection of clients who pay in fact their comision is not ok. I know, I should have read and understand T&C but not everybody is speaking 100% English :(( . Very expensive lesson for me. No application-no money.!
