Pros

Work at home, good communication, CEO seems engaged here

Cons

The process for application is lengthy for such a position and the exams are very long and so subjective I thought the aim initially was literally the wisdom of the crowd type crowdsourcing...converging on a 'right' answer, there being no actual right answer. Actually, I'm pretty sure this kind of approach might yield them better results in what they currently do, given the veracity of Bing search engine results. I think I may have been successful in passing their exam if I had spent more time studying the idiosyncrasies of their not fully fleshed out reasoning process matrix (if this, then that, not accounting for a possible c, e, or d answer) re quality of ads...but that's a lot to ask for what I learned they actually offer. I'd say divergent or creative thinkers likely should not apply. Too bad, as I could have used the extra money, especially in the coronavirus era.

Pros

None whatsoever unless you like being taken advantage of...

Cons

They require you to take a test you must pass in order to "get hired." They do not tell you up front the rate of pay per task, because then no one would bother to jump through the hoops for rates that low. They do not pay for any training and they say there will be more you have to do later. They also pay you nothing for your time you will have to spend on their website or answering their frequent emails. This job simply, be their design, cannot get close to Federal Min. Wage for all the time you will invest. In order to stay employed you need to keep a min. accuracy rating which means you cannot skip steps in order to get your pay rate up. If you live in a state with a higher min. wage then this will be worse. Do not believe the other reviews that claim a $15/hour rate. Scammers send liars to put up false reviews and it is easy to do! A more realistic rate for all the unpaid time you will have to invest is like 1/2 of the Fed. Min. Wage. Are these the kind of people you would want to trust with your social security and bank account information?
