Pros

- Exposure to global markets and content - Interesting and varied projects - Strong brand in the industry

Cons

- Lack of regional management and oversight - Passive management and lack of intervention in addressing team-level issues and inconsistencies - Performance metrics overly focused on volume (e.g., word count) - Inconsistent accountability in collaborative or paired workflows - Situations where partial or surface-level contributions are counted as full output, distorting performance comparisons - Higher output figures not necessarily reflecting quality or completeness of work, sometimes requiring additional correction by others - Competitive dynamics encouraged over collaboration, with limited managerial intervention
