About the same
Freelancer (Former Employee) - India - September 10, 2022
It was nice.. I used to work for clients around the world and that was very exciting experience for me. Pay was contract based. Down point is too much competition and no fix pay.

You work for yourself
It’s pretty straight forward. You freelance and just use the site. You could get work without the site as well. I’d recommend it if you need a foot in the door.

Pay to Play
Freelance (Former Employee) - United States - May 8, 2022
Be wary of websites where you have to pay to find work. What is that? Plus, you're competing with everyone around the world. Waste of time and money.
Pros
Side gig if you can find it
Cons
Too much competition

Nothing special
Freelancer (Former Employee) - Remote - April 17, 2022
Working as a freelancer can be rewarding. Or not. Just another way to find your own path to remote working freedom is the way I look at it. This was a step on that path, nothing more nothing less.

Productive environment
It’s easy to find freelance clients. I have been able to build my portfolio at my own pace using this website. I have been able to find other opportunities by using this site.

Able to choose which task or project to do
Freelancer (Current Employee) - Remote - August 15, 2021
We can choose any job project we want to do. But before that, we have to make a proposal stating why the employer should choose us to work with them. Only if we are chosen, can we continue with the project.
Pros
Flexible
Cons
Inconsistent income

Freelance
Freelancer (Former Employee) - Remote - June 4, 2021
It wasn't that good of a company to work at, to be honest. There was too much competition and it was hard to get your bid to stand out from the others.

Ok
Freelance Operator (Current Employee) - Nairobi - May 24, 2021
It's a good platform for part time job opportunities. Although it is sometimes slow and lacking diversity. I would definitely recommend it for beginners.
Pros
Builds some experience
Cons
Sometimes jobs are slow

Really bad experience
Freelancer (Current Employee) - Online - April 13, 2021
They have some HIDDEN CHARGES which will never be informed and they charge you inactive fee which is NOT FAIR at all. This way they are SCAMMING a lot of people and STEAL YOUR MONEY. Beaware!

full of extra taxes and hidden taxes. go to fiverr or upwork, this one is a scam-
Freelancer (Former Employee) - Lisbon, FL - January 6, 2021
full of extra taxes and hidden taxes , and its very hard to withdraw the money(i can´t)... do not recommend freelancer.com either to ask for a job to be done or to work there as an extra gig. use upwork and fiverr, they are much better for both options and doesn´t have hidden fees.
Pros
nothing is better than the copetition
Cons
scam

Hidden opportunities withtin a vast sea of low paying tasks and scams
Freelancer (Current Employee) - Morocco, MO - November 23, 2020
In my opinion, Freelancer.com offers some real opportunities for task seekers and also for employers who get to choose the quality/price they want. But in fact, as a new freelancer, I don't get the opportunity to get paid fairly, I always find myself lowering the price of my service, and the result always the same: no task at all.
Pros
It offers a great space that links employers with people looking for gathering a few bucks.
Cons
There are some tasks posted regularly where you only lose your precious bids, actually, those tasks are just scams, but there are other serious tasks offered by real employers.

Are there any actual jobs on this site?
Freelancer (Former Employee) - Remote - October 29, 2020
I joined today, October 29, 2020, used all of my credits and applied to eight different jobs, and deleted my account the same day. I got two messages from them that were both complete and utter scams, both pretending to be a Chinese man who had lost his Upwork account and needed my help. Suspicious links that I shouldn't have followed, oops. Also got a completely random job offer from a user who's name was a string of incomprehensible letters and numbers with an email included for me to follow up. Not taking any chances, I deleted my account within hours of making it. Stay away.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything

I don't believe this is legitimate.
Freelancer (Former Employee) - Remote - September 13, 2020
I bid on two eerily similar job postings within a few minutes of activating my account and linking my Paypal. I immediately had to retract my bid on both jobs and report them as fake postings because I received a message from one stating they'd like me to go to an external website and "submit a deposit" that would be refunded. Sure. That's not even the worst part. Please someone explain to me why this company sets itself up as an automatic payment (to WITHDRAW money) on your Paypal account from the get go? I wasn't informed I'd be paying monthly just to use the site.
Pros
If you find a legitimate job, kudos to you I guess
Cons
definitely a scam, made me feel completely vulnerable, immediately unlinked my paypal account

Freelancer (Current Employee) - Pune, Maharashtra - September 1, 2020
Working at freelancer was very helpful for me as I was a student. It also made me experience the environment of a company and made me learn how to interact with clients and how a company works. But working there is very challenging as a fresher .
