anyone have experience working with them? Is it really different than sites like upwork in terms of client quality and rates?

- dangero 9y agoI found their glassdoor reviews enlightening. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Gigster-Reviews-E1168400.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Gigster-Reviews-E1168400.h...
- throwaway709 9y agoI joined about 2 years ago and have probably earned $50K+ on the network. Pros (at least in the past): * Paid on time. * Paid pretty well considering no sales, customer service, debt collection. * They (sometimes) let the developers make decisions on architecture, stack etc. * On most recent project was able to define deliverables and milestones. * Met some cool people. Cons: * As they move to Enterprise focus, flow of jobs has slowed to a trickle. I expect $20mil will help fill the sales and project pipeline though. * They are really pushing a subset of tech (Swift, React, some homemade stuff) * Hard for new developers (who don't know React) to get work. Teams have formed/gelled and tend to work together. I have more or less moved on to focus on my own startup full-time but haven't ruled out trying to pick up a gig in the future. I'd likely need to level up on React which I don't want to.
