Pros

Completely dominating position in the market we're in, but still a ton of opportunity left. Really strong university partnerships and the beginnings of success in Europe as well. Really smart coworkers and they're starting to be better at identifying lower performers and making sure they move on.

Cons

It's a very complex business with 3 sides with very different expectations and very murky motivations. Partnering with F100 type companies is great, but also they're very corporate.

Pros

Real pay, many jobs, Slack for additional support, and flexible schedule geared towards Eastern time.

Cons

Schedule flexiblity still requires you to accept jobs in batches, without a definitive release date for each batch, and if you do not accept enough tasks in the timeframe you will be removed from the project. Timers do not pay if the task extends beyond the prescribed limit, and workers are encouraged to submit lower times regardless of the actual work required. For some tasks this is an extra 5 minutes, for others it could be an extra 20 hours.
