Pros

The only pro I can think of is that you can tell to your friends that you work for a US based company and they think you are so cool for landing a remote US based company job!

Cons

Where do I start? There are so many that I don't know where to even begin! 1. The Founder/Owner is an absolute megalomania who expects you to be working 24x7 and would still say you didn't do enough. 2. You won't get any access to the Social Media accounts or after asking the owner many many times you would get very limited access and can't actually do much. 3. Even if you were employed for Marketing you would be expected to do Graphic Design and Video editing and the owner will say that you are not doing enough designs/ working enough. 4. No team work should take place as the owner insists to be the centre piece in all the things and would not want you and the team to be talking among yourselves since he considers that as betrayal. (Most probably because he thinks you all would be scheming behind his back) 5. No scheduled meeting. Forget getting a scheduled meeting email, everyone has to individually ask the owner in WhatApp whether there is a meeting. Oh! and you have to ask this more than once. Else, he will say you are not interested in working. 6. During interview, The owner said that there "might" be meetings at night (which is morning for him) so that he can get an update on what is going on. These meetings he said would not be longer than 2-3 hours. from 9 PM to 11 PM Max. Which sounds fine except these meetings went on till 3AM in the morning EVERYDAY! Most of the meeting would be him just rambling and eating and would want you to keep your video on all the time so that he can monitor you like you are some school kid! 7. No leaves! Even if you are being carried to a hospital in an ambuance and would be put on drips. He would insist you message him for a while so that he can tell about the tasks you need to do. Also, he would expect you to be grateful for him not deducting the leave days pay. (Bare in mind this was for a medical emergency) 8. After you come back from you leave, he would expect you to apologize for him many many times and if you don't he would not add you in the meetings. (But he would expect you to send meeting request on zoom which he won't accept) 9. Salary - The salary won't be credited on the said date. If you are lucky, he would credit it on the 1st of the month. If not, he would tell you that he has credited it and you are yet to receive it. Some of our team mates only got their salary after 7-8 days of constantly asking him. 10. Finally, No job security! Yes, he could simply call you up one day and say you are fired because you didn't do the amount of work he expected you to do or be available 24X7 on call (including weekends) .

Pros

The work is quite easy as there's a few students to work with at a time and things are pretty straight forward. They also pay me more then any part time job I've had on top of teaching (I started at $35/hour and by the time I left it was $50/hr

Cons

It's a bit slow on Sundays; so it can quite boring and uneventful if students don't show up.

Pros

There was Nothing really good about working for The Sapience. Just Waste of Time.

Cons

It may appear that the compensation is competitive, but payments are frequently delayed. Leadership is among the most ineffective imaginable—disconnected from core business operations, prone to impulsive terminations, and driven by ego rather than competence. Employees are routinely expected to work 12 to 14 hours a day and are subjected to public humiliation.
