Pros

Absolutely nothing! Total waste of my valuable time.

Cons

I was invited to take the assignment for one of their projects (Appen Global Falcon Gold project). First of all the customer service is an absolute joke! I couldn't log into the software in order to complete the assignment. After notiifying them about the issue, it took them a week to get back to me! The assignment clearly stated that I will get 2 attempts at the assignment. I didn't pass the first time around and wasn't able to log in to re-take it. I contacted "support" to enquire about this and I never got a response. This "company" is an absolute insult.

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.
