Pros

In-house restaurant. you receive a mug of free coffee in the morning.

Cons

The pay is miserable and the job comes with absolutely no benefits. The management doesn't know what they are doing. The company is run by idiots that drive Ferraris and employ their friends as management. With 15 years of IT experience, I was only paid 8K which I only accepted because I could work from home. After a year working for them, I was then however forced to work from the office, even though the management knew that my physical disability prohibited this. I, therefore, was forced to look for a new job, but while I was doing so I was threatened and insulted on a daily basis, as they were trying to force me out of the company. The company also forces you to take on five tasks that do not have anything to do with your job description, and that you are also not paid extra for.

Pros

- Open communication (they really do listen, help and discuss instead of merely assigning tasks) - Clear assignments/tasks with detailed steps to follow - Nice and fun people to work with - Doing work that actually enriches peoples' lives (providing educational material to further careers and education) - Decent pay, always on time - Diversity - Remote/flexible ( there's no micro-managing as long as the work gets done and is done well and on time)

Cons

- Trial and error for translation software and processes (but that's to be expected as this was a new project)
