Pros

1)Salary is credited on time 2) Flexible working as remote

Cons

1)There's a lack of understanding regarding the technical aspects within the company. 2)You'll be left high and dry once your probation period ends. 3)They recruit individuals, and upon completion of their probation, terminate them to avoid permanent employment. 4)Senior management is disconnected from operations, promoting inexperienced managers within teams who create a miserable work environment. 5)Managers show blatant favoritism, creating a toxic workplace culture. 6)Despite claiming to specialize in AI, they lack basic knowledge of algorithmic functioning. 7)Even if you pass their interview, each project entails three rounds of testing with a 90% pass rate requirement. Training consists mainly of trivial demonstrations. Projects typically last from 2 to 6 weeks, yet even a single day of poor performance can result in a 8)Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) being issued. Employees are arbitrarily assigned to projects and are susceptible to termination at any moment.

Pros

The vast majority of the people I worked with on projects for a major internet company were friendly and educated. The pay was decent for trivial remote work.

Cons

Projects were tedious at best and seemed poorly designed. Rubrics designed either by the contracting company or Innodata were often poorly thought through, and rules tripped over themselves or remained ambiguous. The company we were sub-contracted to was infamous for not replying to inquiries asking for clarification for how to evaluate the AI. Prompts given to the AI were often incoherent--just a word or name, often misspelled--which left us making arbitrary decisions about how well the AI addressed the prompt. Rubrics were hidden from employees evaluating the AI, though that seemed to be a result of neglect by a company still figuring out how to run things, not an active decision to deceive employees. I left well before the recent waves of layoffs. Management had tried to assure us that jobs were secure, but that seemed delusional given that the contracting company was farming out work through other companies rather than hire us itself.
