Pros

No much Pro, was a remote job so that's the only good aspect

Cons

Toxic management Barely legal setup (seems they close Asia office and good for them, the way they were doing recruitment here was a disaster) They broke the contract and didn't respect my employee condition. Didn't went to the court because as usual it wasn't worst the money or my time but they would have deserved to be punish for their very bad behavior Ask the HR team in EMEA to help. They actually didn't care at all and let what happened in Asia happen. Maybe the same in EMEA.... Super lower Salary

Pros

The pros of this job is that the team members are typically kind and supportive, and the clients are often Fortune 500 companies with big names which (hopefully) looks good on a resume.

Cons

Simpleshow does not compensate their workers fairly. Management expects writers to be available 9-5 on Monday through Friday to answer questions, communicate, and do work on tight deadlines. (Often outside of these hours as well.) Despite the expectation of full-time availability, writing at simpleshow is only a part-time job with no benefits, no salary and no hourly wage. Writers are paid by the run-time of the projects they create, regardless of how many rounds of revisions the client requests per simpleshow's "unlimited revision" policy. In a full calendar year of working at simpleshow I made approximately $5k, even though I took on as many projects as I could at any given time. When I took on other part-time jobs, as was obviously necessary due to the wages at simpleshow, it was discouraged because it took away from the hours I could be available.
