Pros

I cannot find any pro.

Cons

I rejected the job after the interview. They say that you get paid based on your education, job experience and skill. I have masters degree in computer animation, 2 years of experience but they still offered me $500-700 (gross) which is a joke even for a junior position. Also they say that you start with the lower value and you slowly increase so that means a junior would probably start with $500 gross for 170h of work a month. They also desire screen capture while on working hours so they can see if you put in max effort in you work. That is little intrusive especially with how low they value your position.

Hi! Thank you for your review. As a young start-up, we're trying to give competitive compensation, but starting a bit lower at first, so we could be assured that one can bring value to our company (since there's no experience to compare to). If you have 0 experience you will start a bit lower (better than doing unpaid internship, in our eyes), but after a month employees get 30% increase, and then increases are regular - every 3 months, until we reach our capacity, few thousands USD. Regarding Teramind, our monitoring system, this is the situation: Relaxed approach: You're not being watched - no one is constantly monitoring what you're doing. The monitoring system is used to check the reliability of an employee in the absence of results. When someone struggles to solve a problem it can seem that he didn't do much. Checking the recordings resolves that issue. In conclusion, our team uses it to troubleshoot and determine honest performance. You choose: You have control over the Monitoring system, so if you ever need to opt-out or do something personal, just pause the Teramind. It's a neat tool to track your working hours - you will use the Teramind clock to log your hours. Privacy is important to us: We use our server that's highly protected. Additionally, only three people in the company can access the recording. Recordings last a month and then they're permanently deleted. We guarantee: Our company guarantees security and privacy, so you can rest assured that everything on your PC that's monitored with Teramind is safe. It’s not anything new: We're living in the age when everything is tracked - websites, platforms, spaces, and even streets have some kind of monitoring. That's just the way of the world. As same as traffic cameras, no one is checking Teramind constantly, only in time of need. Thank you again for the feedback.

Pros

People are from around the world. they are very good. easy to work with them

Cons

Owner is Michael. He is a big liar. He didn't pay for what I work. Its not only to me . even for others he did same. And he threaten people if someone expose this to these websites. He pays money only few people around him not for others. when we ask money he says you must find a another job. and he's not paying for what we did.

Pros

The test assignment gave me an opportunity to learn something new and realise my worth. Also the HR lead is very nice. Probably to smooth out the impression made by the CEO.

Cons

Disgusting impressions after a call with the CEO. Throughout the interview you are asked questions, regardless of the answer to which you look inexperienced. He says that your 4 years of experience don’t mean anything because in Austria you are considered a middle only after 5. All this in order to offer a salary of $750, which is WAY less than what I can earn making hyper casual games in your own country. One of the CEO’s arguments for why you should work for them: “After us, you can get hired somewhere else, because currently no one wants you.”
