Pros

A lot of good opportunities. Well organised site.

Cons

Can have horrendous delay in payment. Unnecessarily complex verification process, which they seem to require every time a withdrawl is required - and even previously used information can glitch. If this happens they don't tell you what the glitch is, they just require you to re-submit your verification details. They will also charge a conversion fee if you are paid in one currency and withdraw in another, which I think is not on. Customer service can be the worst I have ever come across.

Pros

If you're young and need to get experience on what you to do in the future, this is the company for you. They'll provide you with what you need so you can spark a great idea that can help the company or its users. Free food, lunch, beer, lotsa stuff that can make you feel at home even when you're in the office.

Cons

Most of the management guys grab credit, they'd push away your idea for a couple of months and then some top guy from Sydney or from other offices would come up with this great idea! (which was originally yours).

Pros

Very strong team environment. You get to work with some of the most switched on and engaged colleagues out there. Everyone believes in the mission and are self-motivated to achieve the vision. A strong culture of data science is present so ego's and bravado are mostly left at the door. Everyday i learn something new about data analytics, conversion optimisation, team dynamics and building and optimising products in a billion dollar business. The work is wide and varied and you will be given alot of responsibility. There is no competition between teams. The support network is strong with an emphasis in knowledge sharing and cross pollination between design, product management and engineering. Everyone is there to help you achieve your goals so It's up to you to make things happen. Management is very generous in rewarding standout talent. As a designer, i can ask product managers, engineers and data scientists any question about metrics and they are more than happy to help me be the best at my job. Stop b*tching, start fixing mindset. I love that.

Cons

Because everyone is smart, self-motivated and actively geared towards solving problems fast and efficient, the culture might not suit those who are more suited to slower paced environments.
