Pros

Solid business model with decent pay.

Cons

- Some shifty management - don't underestimate this. - Mistreatment of employees - it's normal to witness someone get grilled or ripped off. Lots of favoritism. - Sense of distrust - just look at the recent 5-star ratings solicited from Bangalore to boost their Glassdoor score.

Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback and I'm sorry that you did not feel supported during your time here. There's been a lot of change this past year, from rapid growth to the impact of COVID-19. While we try to communicate as much as we can to help team members understand the changes, your feedback shows us where we've fallen short. We've since taken measures to help build sustainably, encouraging work/life balance, among other things. Thanks again for your feedback and wish you the best.

Pros

You get to spend a lot of time dancing around like a monkey for these guys.And if you like monkeys, I guess that's a pro

Cons

There are app allows you to do absurd things. Because they don't have faith in people. And then they discriminate against you in ways which is federally illegal. But they don't care, because you'll continue to talk to AI. And when AI doesn't know what to say, it just starts repeating itself like a broken record. This app it needs updated
