Pros
Payments on time. It is possible to get position without proper design experience, since most of the work is in Power Point and full training is being provided. Most of coworkers are really nice people.
Cons
The amount of effort required for this role doesn't match the pay. The expectations feel like full-time employee responsibilities. Mandatory online presence throughout the working day, regular updates about tasks. Lack of flexibility. Full engagement in all working processes. High degree of micromanagement, which felt very unusual for freelancer position. Compensation for mid designers is slightly above the minimum wage in Germany. Often it felt more like low-cost labor than an actual freelance collaboration. Lack of transparency during hiring and in the daily workflow. New responsibilities can appear without communication or discussion, which is difficult by freelance setup where agreement and clarity are essential.
