      I have been working at Appen

      Pros

      Easy tasks, usually takes less time than said for me.

      Cons

      Pros

      No nonsense, clear expectations and tasks. The pros that come along with freelancing - hours and environment is up to you, and so on. Although I communicate with my team only over email I do feel connected, and over the year and a half that I've worked with my team I can see our progress.

      Cons

      I would like more hours. No benefits. If you have a hard time focusing yourself on the computer and managing your time you may face difficulty.

      I have been working at Appen part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      -You work from home. Nothing else.

      Cons

      After hearing my friend talk about how good this kind of job is(he works for a competitor) I decided I wanted to try it out... I soon learned that this company will exploit you at any chance they can get. Their rating system doesn't even make sense and the rules change at the whims of a supervisor... yes that means you will constantly get the "wrong" answer even if the supervisor is clearly wrong. The appealing process is a joke, it's just for show. Everything is monitored, there are over 15 metrics, if you fail any of these you are given a warning..and forced to spend another 10 hours studying and doing exams for free. This is horrible system when you realise that you have so many different metrics that will land you in trouble which is on top of making "good judgements" that cost you because the supervisors rate horribly. Believe me, you will constantly stumble across erroneous ratings(but they don't care, they will simply blame you for it and ask more of your time). I'd stay away, there are companies with better rep out there.
