Pros

we are alive and breathing?

Cons

Takes a photo every 15 mins on the webcam to make sure you're sitting at your computer. The CEO Joel Gross sent an email out to tell us to be on time at our computers (few minutes after the start time lol). Not "looking at the webcams" at all. I think the most annoying part is they talk about work life and balance. "mental health" is priority yet they are torturing us and treating us like sweatshop workers. Also there has to be some sort of legality issues of taking pictures of

Yawn. At some point these (probably fake) over the top reviews have got to get some red flags from Glassdoor. Why would someone work here for one to two years, and claim we're lying along the way? About things we publish before you even start your first day? Comparing a work from home, 8 hour or less a day job at a computer to a sweatshop? It defies logic. We're up front that we use time tracking tools to enable a global workforce that has been remote first for over a decade. Team members can turn on and off their time tracking whenever they are working or not working. Its simple and straightforward. Clock in to work- then clock out. That's not complicated at all. There's no deceit involved. Don't get frustrated if you're trying to cheat us or your teammates or our clients by misrepresenting how you're using the time you're reporting as working. If you ever really did work here (and aren't just part of this recent pattern of negative reviews without any reliable personal insights) best of luck. If you're just getting paid to plaster us with negative reviews, worst of luck to you.

Pros

- Good pay - Team is great - Excellent organization

Cons

- Time tracking software is very invasive (screenshots every 5 to 10 min, mouse and keyboard tracking, camera must always be on while on work hours) - KPIs can be too demanding - Workload can be too heavy (I was managing around 15 accounts at one point)
