Pros

- No delay in payment - Actual Company - Totally remote - Has a bonus after you join

Cons

Chaotic environment. Manager repeatedly tells you the situation was pretty bad with so many unsolved tickets. You will be thrown into the field with a little like 2-3 weeks of training that doesn't mean anything. Each and every week your manager will add more and doesn't understand each ticket is different and some of the tickets are hard to solve. For big clients they arrange a meeting with client. But the manager has no idea about the product, they got very few experienced employer who are very busy and can't help you. By the time you solve one its already too late. There is zero documentation on their software called everest's code. No api, you are supposed to work with database with no documentation. They want you as a package but doesn't understand that a software developer have no idea over major business and accounting terms. Manager or anyone, doesn't have any idea how the business logic works inside their software. Instead of a well documentation how you have build a plugin, you are supposed to talk with clients, make the documentation and make the plugin. WOW. There is an woman who is supposed to help you through documentation process but she doesn't. After i joined my fellow devs started to disappear. Without understanding the fact that a new guy barely works with his own tickets my manager put all of the other's tickets to mine. In a nutshell, in this company manager tries to do the job, save the job, without understanding the job. Very limited communication.

Pros

Passing an interview it's easy. Most of their HR guys have no idea what they are doing, the exam system can be easily cheated and .. yes some of the tech guys you're going to have your interview with are very poorly trained. You get a decent pay because you don't have to pay too many taxes except US who have to fill in the W2 form. Everything goes through oDesk or eLance so you will get ~85-90% from the total pay. It's mostly work from home if you like that. You get access to a lot of technologies w/o having to get through too many approvals.

Cons

Where do I start? Be prepared to be fired at any time w/o any prior notification. There is no concept of team-work or team build or good relations between the members of the same or different departments. The ones that create such relations are being investigated then, most of the cases, fired. Most of the non-management personnel has very bad English, poor internet connections. I once had an interview with them, I had no idea what the guy was asking. Management has no idea what they are doing, most of them are retired seniors bearers of the 90's corporate gene and they go by misinterpreting customer feedback and strictly respecting some poorly designed processes. Most of all they get easily offended if you go technical. Even the CEOs have their hands tied. Most of them are managing multiple companies inside the organization thus if you get to have a conversation with one of them you should consider yourself lucky. They will ask for their money back, if you do not comply with a certain set of silly rules. Another reason to get fired. You will get NO benefits or compensation, except for overtime if the management approves, not even a paid vacation.

Pros

A lot of multicultural employees from all continents are working together to achieve the best results for customers. Very nice team co-working and cooperation between employees. Not so bad to work as freelancer.

Cons

The Procedure Management stuff too much frequently change the procedures without any reason, and that's the reason for unsatisfied employees. Very strange attitude about trial work (one week without any salary if you didn't "satisfied" hiring management without any transparent explanation and without transparent overall trial period result score.
