Pros

There are no pros to this digital assembly line that facebook pays innodata to farm for their Gen AI efforts. If you like to be micromanaged and/or are in desperate need of any job and want to basically teach bots to answer in a human-way, go ahead if <$45K is good enough for your time and effort.

Cons

Out of an 8 hour work day you have to be billable 7.25 hours per day to be at 90% productivity (the ideal) or else. The other .75 time is used for work related things too. Your lunch time or bathroom breaks are not included in this. If you take too long on any project you get dinged, if you are idle more than 8 mins you are dinged. The people who train you are all also relatively new and they ALL drank the kool-aid. This is digital indentured servitude

Pros

I really like my colleagues and immediate managers. They are a great collection of interesting, talented people, and I wish I could meet them all in person (we're a remote team). I really tip my hat to the various middle managers, because they are just heroic in being helpful and supportive.

Cons

Most of the cons are issues with the vendor whose contract I work on. They're in the "in the news daily" class of tech companies. The metrics we're measured on are laughable, by a lot on most days. Basically, the vendor expects, and monitors, high-focus, high-quality work--all fine--but within time constraints that are only possible for maybe 40% of the work. Rather than acknowledge the widespread unhappiness on the very large team and push back at the vendor metrics, Innodata upper management has been all in. I see signs they may be softening that stance, but it's too soon to tell.

Pros

None. They promote flexible schedules, but you have to work between 8am and 6pm local time, and you have to clock out to use the restroom.

Cons

- you will be laid off despite excellent metrics and performance reviews, with no notice. Because they are hiring contract workers instead, to save money. - the work is mindnumbingly boring - leadership is a joke, they lack any of the necessary skills to lead. Cannot stress this enough. Trainers lack knowledge and public speaking skills. Team leads are poor communicators. HR is the rudest, most incompetent I have seen. - you’ll notice an onslaught of 5-star reviews boasting the inspiring nature of this company, all coincidently list “no cons as of now.” These are clearly phony reviews meant to boost their rating. Don’t be fooled.
