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 flexible work hours, but even those are slowly being whittled down

Cons

There are so many fake positive reviews. You can tell, because they all say "no cons as of now." They're clearly combat their many, MANY negative reviews. This company is shady. They have HORRIBLE communication, their HR team is rude and unhelpful, and also a tiny department of inept individuals. The work is boring and tedious and makes you feel like your humanity is nothing. There are harsh time constrictions (you have to clock out ot use the restroom), constant changes (to metrics, KPI, etc) that often make no sense, there is a constant threat of layoff, being asked (strongly encouraged/threatened) to work overtime for no pay, slim to no opportunity for advancement, I could go on and on. I would NEVER recommend anyone to this place, everything feels very dirty and scammy.

Pros

- 100% remote - Low stress - I had 3+ months with no work to do, so I was paid for doing nothing - Decent benefits - The vast majority of people I worked with were easygoing

Cons

- Very few (if any) opportunities for growth, development, or advancement - You won't gain any transferable skills aside from being able to tell prospective employers that you "worked in AI" - Some projects are interesting, while others are extremely boring and mind numbing - I was hired through Robert Half as a "writing specialist" and was told the position was writing intensive; however, several projects involved looking at images/videos and clicking checkboxes - I always got the sense that the job wasn't secure, whether it was not having any work for 3+ months, hearing about layoffs, or working on projects that would have made way more financial sense to be assigned to outsourced employees. I also recently saw Innodata advertising for part-time, independant contractor generative AI associates, which leads me to believe they may want to cut full-time employees in this position who receive benefits. - Despite achieving high performance metrics, I only received a modest bonus and didn't receive a salary adjustment after receiving positive feedback in an annual performance review
