I dislike the size limit for uploading files on Upwork. If you guys could increase the limit of file size, that would help us tremendously. A lot of times our freelancers have to use external tools like Dropbox or Google Drive to send us computer work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Upwork connects me with experts to handle tasks I don't have the skills for, especially in back-end web support, integrations with WordPress, and Gravity Forms.

It looks like there's more people trying to hire people instead of get hired. This makes my experience kinda negative because I am actively looking for a job, and I can't use the site to look for one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great network to find work as a freelancer / small business and also find help for your business. It's easy to use and the pool is wide, especially with good international talent that is reasonably priced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mediation process needs some tweaking - sometimes it doesn't work out between parties and I wish Upwork had better policies in place to protect both sides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Upwork perfect for people in my industry who do social media work. It's great that you can find jobs specific to social media and freelancers that are within your budget. It's useful that you can work with freelancers from literally any location across the world and share their experiences. I've hired plenty of freelancers this way, and I get 99% of my clients from Upwork. Setting it up was very easy, and my identity was verified within twenty-four hours. The process was smooth and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think vetting freelancers would improve my workflow a lot better. I've gone through a lot of freelancers. It's been a whole trial and error process of people who are not actually qualified to do the job. Who claim that they have the experience and then can't actually do the work.
