Pros

Completely flexible hours. Telecommute is mandatory for many of the positions! A great group of managers and co-workers all willing to help out. Easy to use back end interfaces, that are being tweaked constantly for workers' benefit. People work and rework the user guide so there's always a good resource available.

Cons

In my work, it can be slightly tedious, but what job doesn't have this? I wish I could work more hours. There are no benefits for my position, it would be nice, but understandable for a part time position. I wish when an available opportunity within the company came up, we would be notified within emails through the company.

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.
