After Buy-Out Pay Bonus Changed
10/15/2025 - Houston, TX
Pros
* USED to be good bonuses for good QA scores, it’s impossible now to get a bonus* bonuses go up to $600 extra a month * my manager was sweet and tried their best to make sure our team was happy despite all the changes with the merger
Cons
* strict QA, had to be at 98-99% accuracy * lots of programs to learn. avoid if you are not tech savvy* upper management changes so quickly so you never know who’s in charge.* remote work can feel isolating when you do not feel supported or heard when the systems and rules change so often.* health insurance choices are a joke which is ironic
