Wonder Research reviews

-There are a few more cons that might outweigh the pros. The payout. I feel Wonder definitely underpays their workers because essentially they leave it to the reviewer's taste to provide you with a rating. They usually have very subjective feedback to give and never take into account how long it might have taken to do the work. -The lack of organization within the management and the community. It is very difficult to receive support which is crucial considering the difficulty of some of these jobs. -The duration for most of these jobs do NOT take 45-90 minutes as described before accepting the job. I remember taking as long as five hours to complete a job! (with about two periods taking a break no longer than 15 minutes) I had still received a poor grade simply due to my inability to pinpoint exactly what the client instructed. -The questions will NOT consist of the things you choose and you do not have a choice on the topics you want to source. It would be amazing if they got back to that because who doesn't want to learn about their favorite topics? Giving people topics on what they already have prior knowledge on or want to learn more about is better for everyone. The passion, interest, or prior knowledge in what is discussed can be the difference between a great review with clear info and a bad one with little interest. -The pay can definitely be raised. I can not stress this enough because I see a lot of other people complaining about this too and it seems even the best of analysts might get rejected for a job from time to time. It's unfair and at least if the job was not completed in the way specified, we should still earn SOMETHING! That is pretty fair. -The instructions are can be unclear and this plays a huge role in the potential of the content shown. I have had a few questions that asked a lot but never specified exactly what they wanted or the format they wanted it in. The people over on Wonder usually do try to help with this but sometimes it can be a really taxing mental game. Just have to be patient with them overall.

The income you actually make versus how much time and energy you put into it is terrible. As an entry level sourcer you get $10 per job completed, but that's only if your work gets 'approved'. If it doesn't, you get absolutely nothing for your effort. There's something really wrong with not getting paid for work done, rejected or not. The approval of work is highly subjective and inconsistent since different reviewers may have different opinions on the sourcing done. I've had sourcing work get rejected only to see the same sources on the final write-up. It's ridiculous. They say it takes between 45 and 90 minutes to complete a sourcing job, but a lot of times it takes much longer than that. So not only do you not get paid if your work is rejected, you don't get adequate pay if your work is accepted. My last job took 2 1/2 hours and I earned $10. That's the equivalent of $4 an hour - way under minimum wage. I haven't worked for them long, but I have already soured on them. It feels too much like worker exploitation to me.
