Pros

Lots of perks! -Unlimited PTO -Remote work flexibility -Transportation assistance The company culture is also very friendly and full of bright minded people. Everyone is willing to help each other out.

Cons

You have to have the right personality to work here. Being a startup that is in a massive growth phase, things change very quickly and you have to be willing to adapt. Additionally, sometimes long hours and weekend work is necessary to complete your workload. However, because we value the mission of the company, people don't get burned out.

Pros

It's flexible and sometimes the money is OK. I got paid most of what they owed me.

Cons

Generally disorganized. The task I was on was one of the more highly paid ones but it was almost impossible to actually do in the allotted time. You aren't supposed to use AI but I think people must. The tasks run far over the time they are supposed to take. The human review system also seemed almost arbitrary. Reviewers did not have the subject matter expertise they claimed to. You will make less than the advertised hourly rate because the tasks routinely take longer than they say they will. If they have averages that are lower, those people are either not submitting accurate hours (there is incentive not to) or are using AI to train AI, which is a bigger problem (but not yours).
