Pros

Some flexible work hours, but even those are slowly being whittled down

Cons

There are so many fake positive reviews. You can tell, because they all say "no cons as of now." They're clearly combat their many, MANY negative reviews. This company is shady. They have HORRIBLE communication, their HR team is rude and unhelpful, and also a tiny department of inept individuals. The work is boring and tedious and makes you feel like your humanity is nothing. There are harsh time constrictions (you have to clock out ot use the restroom), constant changes (to metrics, KPI, etc) that often make no sense, there is a constant threat of layoff, being asked (strongly encouraged/threatened) to work overtime for no pay, slim to no opportunity for advancement, I could go on and on. I would NEVER recommend anyone to this place, everything feels very dirty and scammy.

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.
