Pros

I've been working with AsiaEdit for over 6 years now and I absolutely love the flexibility that comes with the position, in terms of the schedule, location independence, and the autonomy of the work environment. I find it pays well, with the opportunity for pay raises and bonuses over time. Furthermore, the team has been nothing but friendly, supportive, and communicative. It's been really helpful as well to receive regular feedback, as it ultimately helps me improve my work.

Cons

The biggest con I've encountered is that sometimes you may get work that is outside of your main field, which ends up taking longer. I personally enjoy the challenge, but have run into papers that I feel could have been done better if assigned to someone with more knowledge on the given topic. But this isn't always the case, and I find that it occurs more during rush periods when most editors' schedules fill quickly.

Pros

Prompt payment for the work completed. Some interesting research papers.

Cons

Heavy micro-management and feedback. The company has idiosyncratic grammar and word choice rules you are expected to memorise that have nothing to do with standard modern English grammar, but their 'house style'. You are paid by the hour not the word count involved. Consequently, as an editor you may spend a long time deciphering the terrible English and almost rewriting a document to have a senior editor come along and accuse you of 'bad English' as the final product does not adhere to their eccentric rules. The hourly pay rate sounds good at first, but to earn that rate you would have to work like a plug and play device that was able to download and operate their peculiar in-house grammar and word choice system. I was hired as a feeelancer, told I'd passed probabtion, then discarded when their surge period ended. Lots of staff/mamangement cliqueyness and politics at play in the background. Would not recommend. Avoid if possible.
