I found work through Upwork when I was starting out as a dev and actually had a pretty good experience. Just like on the hiring side, there are a lot of bad clients you need to filter through but there are plenty of reasonable people looking to hire on the site. It did make me nervous having so much of my income tied to Upwork and there were a few things that seemed like minor red flags, but I didn't have any awful experiences with them. Someone with a few years of experience probably has better avenues to look at for work but it could be a good option if you're looking to get experience and build out a freelance network.
