Pros

Hosting is a great niche, the work is interesting and clients are great. Coworkers are good people.

Cons

No benefits. You are intimidated into expecting less because remotes work for less. Only accept this job if it is your last option. People get fired weekly so don't get attached to your coworkers. Expect little and you'll be fine. Never stop looking for something better.

Pros

- It's a good place to learn or kickstart your remote employment experience. I would recommend working there for no longer than 1 year, 6-9 months is fine. - The work is exigent. If you are fine with it, then you will certainly learn a lot, quite fast. But be aware that after 6 months the job becomes redundant. - The best I could find in the company was the work/life balance. - Their salaries might be ok if you live in a poor country. However, it doesn't match the skill-level you require for the job.

Cons

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.
