Pros

Good research projects and experience. Good to add in a resume and build connections. Great opportunity to volunteer, but not work full time.

Cons

Very low salary. Requires additional hours almost every day. The typical workday starts in IST around 9-9:30 am and ends with CET, that is at least 10-10:30pm IST. Often required to work full days on Saturdays and on holidays by saying if work not done, will reflect that in the monthly review, which may affect salary. Has also started to make 12-18 months bond mandatory for new hires. If employees wish to terminate bond in between, they are told there can be legal action and interference in future employment.

Pros

Challenging volunteering opportunity with an interesting topic

Cons

The tasks asked require an expertise and should not be achieved by volunteers but by paid consultants. I felt like giving a lot while receiving really little in exchange.

Pros

Good quality research output, good standard of work, remote

Cons

Be ready to work for free. Unhealthy environment. Staff (1-2) is underpaid and overworked. Payment comes after 15 days. Work duration is 11-14 hours M-F, 6 hrs Sat. Time zone differences mean day+overnight work. Full-time profiles have unlimited and disorganized work - research, admin, and hiring.
