Awesome place to apply and sharpen your skills

Business Outlook

Pros

At a rapid-growing startup (technically not a startup anymore as a half-billion-dollar public company) aiming to disrupt crowd-sourcing marketplace, you have the opportunity to utilize latest technology to solve real-life problem while sharpening your own skills and growing your knowledge base. The task will be challenging but your work will impact millions right away.

Cons

Not really much! Things could change quickly as most technology company will do. Without bureaucracy, decision are made quickly here. So be ready to be agile.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good opportunity to build systems which affect lots of users. You are surrounded with lots of intelligent people. Good location.

Cons

Very complex and messy technology stack. Excessive pressure to 'get things up and running' quickly as opposed to getting things done correctly. Freelancer.com is forced to hire an ever increasing number of engineers to manage the growing mess that is GaF (the core of Freelancer.com) and the enormous amount of unnecessary complexity all around it. There is a nasty culture of finger-pointing, blaming and scapegoating - Everyone is expected to 'take ownership' of some part of the code instead of solving problems as a team using rational constructive debate. Employee retention is very low - Very few people stay for longer than 2 years.
