Pros

1. Timely salary disbursement is appreciated. 2. Flexible working hours would be beneficial.

Cons

The current state of upper management raises significant concerns regarding their perception of employees. Rather than viewing personnel as valuable contributors, there is a tendency to prioritise financial gain and project completion solely for their own advancement. Employees frequently engage in excessive work hours, often exceeding ten hours per day. The recruitment process involves hiring numerous individuals simultaneously, only to terminate their employment at the first sign of project delays, regardless of the individuals' experience levels, including those with eight years of expertise. Furthermore, new hires are often compensated at lower rates for similar positions. Although final settlements are disbursed in accordance with contractual obligations, there is a notable lack of work-life balance and job security within the organisation.

Pros

The vast majority of the people I worked with on projects for a major internet company were friendly and educated. The pay was decent for trivial remote work.

Cons

Projects were tedious at best and seemed poorly designed. Rubrics designed either by the contracting company or Innodata were often poorly thought through, and rules tripped over themselves or remained ambiguous. The company we were sub-contracted to was infamous for not replying to inquiries asking for clarification for how to evaluate the AI. Prompts given to the AI were often incoherent--just a word or name, often misspelled--which left us making arbitrary decisions about how well the AI addressed the prompt. Rubrics were hidden from employees evaluating the AI, though that seemed to be a result of neglect by a company still figuring out how to run things, not an active decision to deceive employees. I left well before the recent waves of layoffs. Management had tried to assure us that jobs were secure, but that seemed delusional given that the contracting company was farming out work through other companies rather than hire us itself.
