Pros

I cannot find any pro.

Cons

I rejected the job after the interview. They say that you get paid based on your education, job experience and skill. I have masters degree in computer animation, 2 years of experience but they still offered me $500-700 (gross) which is a joke even for a junior position. Also they say that you start with the lower value and you slowly increase so that means a junior would probably start with $500 gross for 170h of work a month. They also desire screen capture while on working hours so they can see if you put in max effort in you work. That is little intrusive especially with how low they value your position.

Hi! Thank you for your review. As a young start-up, we're trying to give competitive compensation, but starting a bit lower at first, so we could be assured that one can bring value to our company (since there's no experience to compare to). If you have 0 experience you will start a bit lower (better than doing unpaid internship, in our eyes), but after a month employees get 30% increase, and then increases are regular - every 3 months, until we reach our capacity, few thousands USD. Regarding Teramind, our monitoring system, this is the situation: Relaxed approach: You're not being watched - no one is constantly monitoring what you're doing. The monitoring system is used to check the reliability of an employee in the absence of results. When someone struggles to solve a problem it can seem that he didn't do much. Checking the recordings resolves that issue. In conclusion, our team uses it to troubleshoot and determine honest performance. You choose: You have control over the Monitoring system, so if you ever need to opt-out or do something personal, just pause the Teramind. It's a neat tool to track your working hours - you will use the Teramind clock to log your hours. Privacy is important to us: We use our server that's highly protected. Additionally, only three people in the company can access the recording. Recordings last a month and then they're permanently deleted. We guarantee: Our company guarantees security and privacy, so you can rest assured that everything on your PC that's monitored with Teramind is safe. It’s not anything new: We're living in the age when everything is tracked - websites, platforms, spaces, and even streets have some kind of monitoring. That's just the way of the world. As same as traffic cameras, no one is checking Teramind constantly, only in time of need. Thank you again for the feedback.

Pros

The job was interesting and I had a lot of fun doing the writing. Plus it was remote so that's always a good thing.

Cons

I couldn't get any of the programs they wanted me to download work and they wanted me to download some software so they could keep tabs on me and see my computer screen.

Pros

It was remote, which was nice Work was relatively self-explanatory but was also a double-edged sword as there was no way for questions to be answered if you hit a road block

Cons

There was no feeling of ‘management’ as leads would check in twice a week with no real understanding of the details of your work. Communication was sparse. I understand if it was an issue with time zones, but there was no work done to aid employees when they had questions. Oftentimes you’d have to wait a day to hear back. Starting salary seemed okay for part-time but finding out it was pay for full time just isn’t worth it. Hourly rates are WELL below minimum wage. NDA bars employees and ex-employees from talking about a lot of things, but I have never felt more disrespected by an employer.
