Pros

Nice recruiter, very organized and friendly. Punctual payers.

Cons

Working in a very 'stabbing in the back' environment where everybody is scared of being the next one to be kicked-out. Every day there is a new tester for your same language being tested. Gives no hope of job security. Vendor PMs are ex testers with no much training and lack of professionalism. Testers tend to be much more educated and experienced than their PMs. Rates per hour are abysmal depending of the language and the vendors.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
