Misleading, coercive onboarding — avoid if you value your time and rights
My experience with BruntWork was frustrating and unprofessional. Even though I never signed a contract or formally accepted a role, BruntWork pressured me into onboarding by sending repeated emails and messages. They tried to force me into accepting a job and blocked me from applying to any other opportunities when I declined. BruntWork also includes strict legal terms trying to prevent freelancers from speaking directly to clients about pay or work, threatening legal action if you do. This creates a culture of fear and control that feels exploitative. If you value your time and rights as a freelancer, be cautious with BruntWork. Their practices don’t respect workers’ boundaries or consent, and they use manipulative tactics to push you into agreements you never formally made.
