We didn’t deserve to end up in this trap.
I had a stunning team of experts by my side, it was an absolutely welcoming and young progressive workplace. Except for the executive/VPs/CEO. The latter are the people obsessed with money and attention without emphasis to improving its own processes and not making sure the workforce is well organized and cared for. We had a less than 1 week notice to transfer from the remote work to the office in one of the most expensive areas of Vancouver. It was cool, but imagine savings for the company and their staff if they could work from home? The company is spending 10K CAD per month for their office rent, and we had to relocate or travel from 30+km away homes, some were 60+km away - within 1 week! All is to make sure the Upper Management can show off on the world economic stage.
Imagine how we had to manage transportation every day. It was 3-4hrs journey to and from work every day, and on Thursdays you absolutely had to stay until 7pm to watch how CEO is being smart about stuff I never cared less for - a total of 10 hours at work. We are people that loved our job, but without obsession. We had a personal life. It was so easy to snap after a month, I would cry every time I left home at 7pm and got back at 8-9pm, for missing all the life I had before.

Yes they are having great benefits, office culture, lunches and all. But it also pales before having no stable workplace procedures. They change salary and target workload policy at will, they snap at their staff making them cry, there is no democracy or at least hearing out how people feel about procedures. You either agree, or you leave. Classy approach, which resulted in all senior specialists leaving.

It's an on-line job board for those who want to freelance their skills internationally.  Both freelancers and clients can either seek jobs or post jobs that requires creative works.  

There's flexibility for both as employers can hold contests with monetary award instead of just posting a job for getting many artists' entries before choosing a final work or artists can create works to enter that said contest without needing to be rewarded a job through a bidding quote.

It's open to all freelancers, not just artists, such as writers, data entry, web designers, etc.  You can take on jobs from around the world and interact with clients on-site throughout the process.

You do have the same set of complications that you have in freelancing here too, such as long hours for revisions, time zone differences and payment/contract issues.

This company offers no protections for freelancers. I worked for hours on a project only to be told that my employer hadn't set up automatic billing, so I wouldn't be getting paid AT ALL. There solution was to email him twice, hoping he would decide to pay me. I just lost all the money I earned. No other options. No fall backs. Just out money. They do not care at all about their freelancers. Everything is geared toward protecting employers. The guy who swindled me? His account is still active and unaffected. 

THIS SITE IS WORSE THAN JUST FREELANCING ON YOUR OWN.

A Day in the Life: Freelancing Insights

Freelancing offers flexibility and autonomy, but it's not without challenges. Time management is crucial to staying productive. The learning curve is steep, requiring adaptability and self-discipline. Workplace culture revolves around personal motivation, while the hardest part is often maintaining a consistent workflow. However, the most enjoyable aspect is the freedom to choose projects that align with passions and skills.

I worked as a freelancer and I made bids on many projects. I made a team to complete those projects and all othe work got paid. I really gained alot from being my own manager and by managing my team as well.

Most times you’ll have to pay the company to access any high rank in their algorithm to match you with clients. The clients themselves aren’t vetted quite enough and a lot of them are just looking for people to apply so they can ask for free work.

I have worked with different freelancing platform.. but this platform is the worst .. don't waste you time and money on it!

They have a very week support in case you are having any trouble then it will never be resolved.


If your desperate to break into tech sure. If you want bully’s for bosses and a typically toxic culture probably avoid it. I have a lot of stories of shocking bad behaviour on behalf of management. 

Freelace work was good for me sometimes when I preferred to work at home or I tried to apply for full time job. By the way, the salary is not fare for good work and for person with professional skills.
