Pros

You get to work on very different projects all with new and different challenges, people are nice and it feels inclusive and diverse in terms of culture. Quick to earn raises. Perhaps the hardest you’ll ever work in your life so if you can handle CT then you can handle anything. Builds character as they say.

Cons

Definitely the time tracking software because it takes webcam shots. The screenshots and time tracking portion is less of an issue and understandable why they do it. The webcam shots are a severe sign of a lack of trust of employees which isn’t a nice thing to think about of your employer. The hiring quality is usually poor.

Not enough here to respond to but I'll highlight a weird cognitive disconnect- "Great people" and "hiring is poor" (heck, we hired you, didn't we?). The web cam shots help ensure people are focused on working for our clients while they pay us for our time. It is simply a way we help to strengthen the sense of value in our costs for those who are hiring us. Its an unfortunate and very common reality for companies that offer remote work that some (not all) people are dishonest and do cheat/lie/steal through misreporting time. Its one of the more common news stories coming out of the boom in WFH/remote work. Its also the reason that so many companies are pulling back from remote work. "Overemployment" should be viewed as fraud in many cases. If someone is paying you for their time and you take that pay, but use that time for someone else, who is also paying you, you're stealing. Not sure how else to look at it. Its not the same thing as holding two jobs on different hours or project based work. Web cam and screenshots help protect Coalition's clients from that occurrence (and it does happen with significant frequency in remote work and work from anywhere experiences). Think about it this way- if you have a team of 3 people, and one person on that team is stealing from clients through fraudulent 'overemployment', 33% of the cost of that team is being wasted. Maybe you argue that 33% of employees won't operate that way, but even if its 1 out 10, that's still 10% of the investment our client's make being stolen. In our way of thinking (and we believe in our clients' way of thinking), the target for waste and fraud should be 0%. We may not make it that far, but Time Doctor helps us keep everyone at Coalition accountable to our clients from the most senior to the most junior.

Pros

- Good pay - Team is great - Excellent organization

Cons

- Time tracking software is very invasive (screenshots every 5 to 10 min, mouse and keyboard tracking, camera must always be on while on work hours) - KPIs can be too demanding - Workload can be too heavy (I was managing around 15 accounts at one point)
