Pros

A lot of good opportunities. Well organised site.

Cons

Can have horrendous delay in payment. Unnecessarily complex verification process, which they seem to require every time a withdrawl is required - and even previously used information can glitch. If this happens they don't tell you what the glitch is, they just require you to re-submit your verification details. They will also charge a conversion fee if you are paid in one currency and withdraw in another, which I think is not on. Customer service can be the worst I have ever come across.

Pros

Honestly nothing is positive. People are not recognising your effort or saying thank you. They will promise the perfect culture pretending a cool startup, but everyone is rude and the culture is disgusting. I thought people were saying exaggerating what they were saying about the company having a terrible culture, but honesty no one deserves to work in such an environment. Also low payment comparing to industry standards when they make tons of money.

Cons

The phrase slavery in the 21st century cannot cover what is happening in there. They expect you to stay all day online and talk with people around the world, stress is over the limits and they only complain while threatening you for goals that are not achievable. No recognition and not appreciation of anything that you deliver. This is caused due to incapable and unskilled managers that does not value anything. Just avoid working there at any cost or promise they make. Find something that pays less, but at least you will be happy.
