Pros

No pros at all, the training is paid but as it's extremely low, that is also not a pro.

Cons

Low hourly rate. In the beginning they offered 4 usd per hour. Then it became 3.80 usd and after all those deductions and fees, hourly rate goes down to 3 usd roughly and they lack of competent people. So they promote skilless newbies as leads or supervisors. These so-called leads do not know anything about the project and when you ask some questions, or they address some other people to ask or they answer with another question, changing the subject and finally leaving your question unanswered. They also set a 40 hours per week rule: do not exceed 40 hrs per week and do not work less than 40 hrs. Fine. But when I asked for tasks for the weekend, one of those incompetent and hostile leads did not answer me and that week I was not able to complete 40 hours. Then the following week same drama again. And they are arrogant enough to tell you clearly they don't work over weekends so you shouldn't bother them asking questions while they enjoy their weekend. This person is a lead for Italian team but she is not an Italian speaker. So I leave it to your imagination what kind of mickey mouse organization is in question here. Stay away.

Pros

The role involves a lot of repetitive tasks. Depending on your personality, that either makes the job easier over time as you become more efficient, or it gradually becomes frustrating. The upside is that once you learn the role, it can serve as a strong stepping stone to move into other positions within the company.

Cons

It's a repetitive, call-center type role. Once you're in it, there isn't much room to grow within the department. Most people either stay and plateau or eventually move to another department before the repetition and workload lead to burnout.

Pros

Large presence in the industry and good-hearted, intelligent, and well-meaning people work there. Stable company, not going to be purchased by private equity and endure large layoffs

Cons

part of their motto is "do the right thing" but that's not applied when it comes to salaries or work-life balance. working weekends and well past normal hours seems to be a regular thing that most people are doing. a manager's solution to my issue of having more work than was feasible to complete was just to work longer days. "Veeva Speed" is a sugarcoated phrase everyone uses to indicate being overworked and initial training is like drinking from a fire hose; this company makes enough money to hire the correct amount of people to do the work and pay them fairly.
