Pros

Pros used to be great people and great learning opportunities. Now it’s just rich kids telling everyone what to do and vibe coding over everything

Cons

Too many to list. CEO, toxic culture, little opportunity for growth unless you are a favorite or friend of someone in charge.

Pros

Real pay, many jobs, Slack for additional support, and flexible schedule geared towards Eastern time.

Cons

Schedule flexiblity still requires you to accept jobs in batches, without a definitive release date for each batch, and if you do not accept enough tasks in the timeframe you will be removed from the project. Timers do not pay if the task extends beyond the prescribed limit, and workers are encouraged to submit lower times regardless of the actual work required. For some tasks this is an extra 5 minutes, for others it could be an extra 20 hours.
