Pros

Literally the only pro is that you get to WFH and the “projects” you are assigned are mindless AI slop.

Cons

There isn’t enough space in this text box to summarize the cons of this company. Do you see a lot of moderately good reviews associated with their name? Yeah, those are fabricated, or made by contracted workers that don’t have access to FTE benefits. This company is incredibly skilled at hiring employees under the guise that they will be full time, then blaming their “clients” for sudden and unexpected layoffs that leave many workers stranded. I have worked for some pretty awful employers in my past, but Innodata is genuinely a joke. I’m glad they’ve reaped the benefit of their FTEs and scaled the stock market enough to become relevant. When I was hired, they were nothing, barely deserving of a result via Google search. My feelings were confirmed by the fact that I was laid off via email on a Tuesday at 8:30pm. DO NOT WORK HERE. For the love of GOD, if you have any self-respect, seek a job elsewhere. I don’t care what they’re paying you. This job isn’t enough to make you attractive on applications elsewhere, there is ZERO growth, and they will play you, lie to you, and manipulate you until the very end. If you’re a contractor, do yourself a favor and look for work anywhere else. STOP MAKING THIS COMPANY MONEY. I wish I could say this review was biased, but it isn’t. I wish I couldn’t say I wasn’t a victim while writing this, but I am. Please, please search elsewhere. Take your wisdom, worth, and dignity to any other company but this K-hole of a job where aluminum robots would get more respect.

Pros

Some flexibility Work from home

Cons

One thing I really didn’t enjoy about the guidance: our client sets a bench mark of having 85% “utilization”. Basically stating that of the 40 hours worked, 85% of that must be in “production code”, so about 35ish hours a week. The rest of the time can be spent reviewing emails, guidelines, etc. The project manager basically had management tell people that they could be 2.5 hours in other codes, and about 37.5 should be in production. If this is a decision from a client, then great, but it seemed to me the project manager was just trying to get every little bit of production possible out of people. I’m under the impression that if employees are treated like people and given proper breaks, the quality of work will be way better. If you force them to sit for 7.5 hours or a 8 hour day in front of a screen, the quality will be worse. The client says it’s 85% utilization, so why are we telling our employees they need to be in production for 37.5 hours out of the day? It just seems dishonest. Data annotation work can be tough and some of the tasks are repetitive and can take a lot of concentration. Half of the admin, forgets what it’s like to work in the queues, and drive these numbers blindly. Meanwhile, half of their job consists of chatting on teams all day.
