Pros

None. All pros are offset by the slave wage you will receive.

Cons

These people will STEAL your time, STEAL your talent, underpay you and treat you like dirt. There is no feedback when you ask questions, no one will listen when you express discontent or when you would like to challenge their arbitrary decisions. They will answer superficial questions, no problem. But when a real issue comes up and the platform won't allow you to work anymore, it will be absolute radio silence. Remember, as a transcriptionist, you are easily replaceable and represent nothing but a number to them. They will ask you to listen to files without being paid, which easily amount to a few hours a week if you're working full-time, as if all the preparation work involved didn't count for anything. 99% of the files come without glossary. You will do a lot of research, for free. If you work tirelessly and as fast as you can, you will barely make 7$ an hour. But remember, that's only if you're very good at it, and if you have months of practice under your belt. You're not an employee, you're a so-called independent contractor, meaning there is not benefit for you and they can cut off your access to the platform whenever they want. They don't owe you anything. You give them your time for years, as I have, and you will be denied access for a misunderstanding, without having anyone to talk to. All they want is your underpaid labor. They will milk it until you're utterly exhausted, and then you will feel like an absolute fool. This is modern slavery at its finest. As a transcriptionist, you are feeding AI and helping Rev become better at voice recognition, so they can then profit from commercializing new software, enriching people at the top, helping them replace people by machines as quickly as they can.

Pros

I was also able to save my audio from other system and share it with Rev. The turnaround time to complete the job was super fast and the output was quality.

Cons

The only thing I do not like about this software are the sporadic errors created by the Speech Recognition feature when the speaker has an accent.

Pros

Rev is a great place to work. Management empowers the engineering team to figure out the right solution to both business problems and the accompanying technical challenges. I feel my work is valued and it is great to see it directly impact the lives of so many freelance workers around the world. Rev is also very flexible about work location, which is great for those software engineers that don't want to, or can't move to San Francisco. The team is friendly and fun to be around. The company events and happy hours are always a good time.

Cons

The cons are those typical to most SF startups: - lack of defined policies and procedures - need to hire more people to help speed up the pace of progress - San Francisco is very expensive location to live (but this is mostly offset by remote work opportunities)
