Pros

When it worked, it was great; for a couple of months (April, May mostly) there were lots of tasks available. It did not pay very well but the flexibility made up for that.

Cons

Unreliable company and platform. You never know when tasks will be sent your way and how good (or bad) they'll pay. They had so many people on the platform that some projects would run out of tasks in 5 minutes. No communication, no feedback, no labour relationships nor rights... And if they decide unilaterally that you've cheated or that your quality is not good enough, you just get removed (shadowbanned) without any notice or reason, so keep clear from this scammers.

Pros

Easy to get set up and work through the "entrance tests", and fairly easy to earn through your first project. The pay per project is OK (in THEORY), but in practice it can be difficult to make real money (see cons).

Cons

My experienced was, unless you have expertise in a very in-demand area like STEM, multilingual, or teaching, the available projects quickly dry up. They then encourage you to "take more qualification tests to see more projects." However, after the tests are taken, no indication is given as to the results and at times nothing more shows up in projects. In the end it can be a random, and disorienting process.
