Pros

Absolutely nothing, it is a great idea with a horrible implementation.

Cons

The company has a horrible attitude since the recruitment process, where the tone of the conversation is like they are making you a favour to let you work for them, it sounds like an old fashion cult in which you have to make crazy things to prove you are good enough and join them. The recruitment process is full of warnings that if you are not compliant to whichever rule, your application will be stopped or suspended. The tests they use are absolutely academical and unrealistic and also having more than 20 years of experience will not help because they are totally abstract and designed to make you fail rather than prove your skills, treating people like junior students rather than experienced professionals. The recruiters will just squeeze anything they need out of you and showing arrogance during the whole process. The same attitude is then detectable while working with them, where the toxicity comes out in any element of the job at any time, bringing the stress level to the stars and making you hate every single moment you spend with them. It is a great idea completely gone bad in a terrible way.

Pros

Remote job, You can work anywhere

Cons

sporadic projects so it's bad idea as single job. the recruiters do not know what they do, they contact you for other profiles different from yours. After several years they dismissed me arguing that due to communication problems. seriously?
