Pros

- Flexible schedule. Literally. (with a minor caveat to be discussed in Cons) - Fair rates and transparent payout structure. Never had a problem with payments, and usually, you get paid faster compared to a regular W-2 gig. - Opportunity distribution is merit-based and reflects the quality of your work. - Plenty of work. - The platform clearly invests to constantly improve the work interface and listens to worker feedback. - Depending on what projects you qualify for, you will likely improve your reading/writing/critical thinking skills a lot while completing the tasks. - You are building the AI of tomorrow, which is cool.

Cons

- Re the minor caveat: Some projects can be more complex and involved. For some, you need to set aside a block of time (5+ hours) to complete a submission before the allotted time expires. - Not necessarily a con of the company per se: More and more highly qualified workers are coming onto the platform, competing for the higher-paying and or more enjoyable projects. Overall, it is a free market in action and very fair.

Pros

The pay is legit and real.

Cons

They will ghost you after a certain period of time, essentially laying you off with no valid explanation - so be aware.
