Fleksible hour, you can do the task anywhere and whenever you want

Cons

Spend 8+ Hours to meet 4 hours work requirement Contract get terminated suddenly i passed the final assessment. already waited for 2 months until i get this job. i got paid for 2$/hours. first day of work i woke up 6AM, im so fired up to work, then i spend 6-7hours working and report that i have worked for 4hours. My work hasnt been approved yet but the next day i received a email that i got a termination contract. my mother slapped me and told me that i was stupid useless and cant find any money. i told my mom that i was joinning appen a good company with a good pay. mom was so proud back then. i only work for 1 day and get fired. i realise all those negative review was right. all of them was right. and i swear to the gods i dont lie about this review. thank appen for hire me.. for 1 day and no payment

Pros

The work tasks are relatively clear, and my colleagues are very friendly and always offer help when I don't understand something. The company's policies and culture are also very transparent.

Cons

Sometimes due to urgent work delivery timelines.

Pros

Working at home on the computer.

Cons

Lack of proper communication. No phone communication whatsoever, only by sending in tickets and emails. They hired me for a project for me to review advertisements and I worked hard at this task and always looked back at the materials as a guideline to keep all my answers as per how they want them to be. However, this was not good enough for them and I was retested. Of course, I knew they would fail the retest and fire me immediately. In addition, I have been putting in my house on my time sheet and they have not paid me once. They claim I will be paid for the hours I billed for but I have not seen any money yet. I am giving up on seeing any pay and my working with Appen has been a total waste of my time when I could have been putting in my efforts working for someone else.
