In general, I observed that the company doesn’t deliver on their promises, I will share some points that in my opinion will help future applicants:
- They seem to have a pattern of underpaying contractors promising a salary raise in the mid-term, don't fall for that. Make sure your initial agreement is fine for you, as you will have very little chances of getting a salary raise - not to say no chances at all.
- They promise things like compensation bonuses only to keep people being patient during hard times, you may give your best help on the hope of getting the so-called compensation bonuses, which never see the light.
- It's hard to know if the company has a clear plan for the future, employees don’t know long-term goals. Growth plans are executed at the expense of the lower-level contractors, who are squeezed until burnt-out, then replaced.
- The paid-education they promise on their job offers equivalent to US$10 courses on Udemy, that they refund once you complete them and only if management approves it beforehand.
- Make sure you take your paid-time-off before you quit the company.
- Little investment is put into the product.
- Archaic systems that make simple tasks stressful and unproductive.
