Pros

The only pro of working in this company as a APM is you are able to work from home.

Cons

- Higher Management is super unprofessional, disorganized, and dirty. Manager will talk badly about employees durning 1 on 1. Be careful, do not trust anyone. - Will make you work longer than your shift frequently. - Managers can be super unprofessional, if they are on your bad side they can make allegation to get you fired. - You will not get proper training or instructions when doing tasks from higher ups. No one in the team likes to help or knows enough to be promoted. - Disorganize and hazing environment.

Pros

The work tasks are relatively clear, and my colleagues are very friendly and always offer help when I don't understand something. The company's policies and culture are also very transparent.

Cons

Sometimes due to urgent work delivery timelines.

Pros

Working at home on the computer.

Cons

Lack of proper communication. No phone communication whatsoever, only by sending in tickets and emails. They hired me for a project for me to review advertisements and I worked hard at this task and always looked back at the materials as a guideline to keep all my answers as per how they want them to be. However, this was not good enough for them and I was retested. Of course, I knew they would fail the retest and fire me immediately. In addition, I have been putting in my house on my time sheet and they have not paid me once. They claim I will be paid for the hours I billed for but I have not seen any money yet. I am giving up on seeing any pay and my working with Appen has been a total waste of my time when I could have been putting in my efforts working for someone else.
