Pros

Your own time work, and if you do the technical work it actually pays pretty well. Have been doing it along side my degree and I can honestly recommend it. There is also a great community where you can ask for technical help both on the site and on Reddit.

Cons

There are definitely peaks and troughs there were times where there was no work available and times where there are plenty. But the peaks align mostly with summer so you can sort of predict it but unreliable.

Pros

Great to work for, lots of work once you get past initial assessment as a specialist for coding. Receiving payments is seamless.

Cons

Work can be tedious and require long blocks of time.

Pros

- Very flexible, asynchronous work schedule. - Reasonable pay, especially for the convenience. - Can earn more with expertise.

Cons

- The work is unreliable with regular droughts (sometimes there's more than enough to work on, sometimes there's no work available). - Highly unlikely to receive any performance feedback. - You are not their employee, it is freelance work that qualifies (for me at least) as self-employment, so you have to plan ahead for taxes.
