Pros

Overall hired decent people but mid management, most of the people managers are good at managing up nothing else

Cons

Not trustworthy, everything they say during the senior leadership meetings is scam. Laid off a lot of my colleagues at short notice, just kicked them out as if they never existed without a chance to say good byes.

Remote opportunities for different projects.

Pros

Real pay, many jobs, Slack for additional support, and flexible schedule geared towards Eastern time.

Cons

Schedule flexiblity still requires you to accept jobs in batches, without a definitive release date for each batch, and if you do not accept enough tasks in the timeframe you will be removed from the project. Timers do not pay if the task extends beyond the prescribed limit, and workers are encouraged to submit lower times regardless of the actual work required. For some tasks this is an extra 5 minutes, for others it could be an extra 20 hours.
