Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Wonder for more than a year
Pros
- You can work from home and bonuses are available if there are too many jobs available. - The pay is always on time. - Rhett, one of the admins, is extremely helpful. She's genuinely eager to help analysts with admin-related questions. - Some research analysts are wonderful, like Shannon, and should be the face of the company.
Cons
- The review process sucks. There are analysts who qualified as reviewers because they only chose to do easy requests, and thus keeping their QA scores high and qualifying for the post. - Several reviews are unreasonable, I've always used the arbitration form, and won the arbitration most of the time. - Senior analysts will gang up on new ones and the not-so-active on Slack. If you ever voice out a complaint about the process or review or feedback, you get shot down by "senior" people, saying the place is not the right place to voice out a complaint. - When asking questions on Slack, you RARELY get a decent reply. - The only person who is genuinely good at what she does and having the right attitude is Shannon.

Pros
I am in love with this job! An awesome Slack community, work your own hours,
Cons
The review process needs a serious overhaul, this is the biggest con! If the reviewer doesn't agree with your work 100%, you don't get paid, and on top of not getting paid for the five or more hours you put into the work, it gets trashed and sent back for someone else to start from scratch. This is the most discouraging part of working as a Sourcer for Wonder.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Wonder for less than a year
Pros
Wonder pays you for training and mentor week. You do earn money per each five star project written. You can advance from a sourcer to a writer to earn more money. The company requires participation in training. I have learned how to research better. I thought I had research down well, after attending multiple colleges and having multiple degrees, but Wonder has pushed my quest for knowledge and a greater understanding of search engines. You have 5 hours to finish sourcing projects and 4 hours to finish writing projects. I have learned Slack too.
Cons
The wait to get work requires patience for newbies. The training session and mentor weeks are 6 hours per session. I liked the training, but I wished the sessions were shorter to be able to handle daily living tasks, such as appointments, laundry, and cleaning. I am also struggling with the review process. You have to wait for your work to be reviewed, which can take hours. If your work needs revisions, you only have an hour to claim or someone else will claim the project. Sometimes, the reviewers ask for revisions for minor things, such as not adding a spreadsheet to the sources (which is understandable) or for a missing section (which you have included, but they missed). What frustrates me is when I spend 5 hours working on a project, which you think is perfect, only to have it come back for revisions and you work on it for another 5 hours to improve it, only to have it rejected and you not get paid. Sometimes, you do not agree with the feedback, but you can arbitrate your work, if you feel it is up to par.
