Cons
Super low pay Glitchy platform Inadequate training Rude supervisors Firstly, no way you're making anywhere close 4k a month w/ this job. It takes about one hour to dub one minute of video. 30-45 minutes if you're a seasoned pro. But some of the jobs are 150-200 for a 26-minute episode. Do the math. It's lower than minimum wage. It's sweatshop wages. Their training is an onboarding via zoom and a bunch of videos you have to watch that are scattered between YouTube, Google Drive, and random ones on their Slack channel. There's no cohesion between the written materials and the video modules--because they're constantly updating the platform --. So you're expected to turn in quality work with crappy training with rules that are always changing. They post in Slack on almost a daily basis with new rules and have "mandatory" meetings that they spring on you an hour or two before they happen, which shows a lack of respect for your time. They want you to sign a form every two weeks with your availability. So if you make yourself available and don't get any work, oh well. And you can't do dubbing work for anyone else while you're working for them because their SOW forbids it. They claim they have enough work to last a year, but many times I found myself sitting and waiting--almost begging--for assignments. Their platform is always crashing, freezing, and glitching. I have extensive experience in audio editing and ProTools and the like, and DD's platform is super frustrating. You lose time and work and they just tell you to redo it. The supervisors are okay, but most of them reside in Israel. Someone from Israel can't tell me, an American, what an American idiom or inflection or speech pattern is supposed to sound like. I've only been an American my entire life (insert eye roll). All in all, this place would be okay to work for if you're desperate or live in a country where very little money is required to live, As a freelancer who's worked for many startups, this was the worst experience to date. They want your time and commitment and excellence, and they give almost nothing in return--least of all respect.
