Upwork Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

As a transcriber, I accurately converted audio/video recordings into written text, ensuring proper grammar and formatting. I met tight deadlines, collaborated with a team, and handled diverse accents and terminologies, enhancing my attention to detail and typing speed.

People are nice, remote friendly

Flexibility, teamwork and focus on people.

The inclusivity and genuine interest in everyone's wellbeing.

They embrace everyone and seem true and genuine when it comes to DIBS. This is a progressive company and they do walk the walk when it comes to being empathetic and supporting of their employees backgrounds.

Review from Operations Dept

Friendly treatment, trust, positive attitude

It used to be fun, you could be your own boss and they gave out a small allotment of free connects each month. This is no longer the case

The positive and caring down is set from the tops down
