Pros

- They offer a good range of benefits such as learning and development, home office, monthly remote stipend, enhanced parental leave, sick pay, medical leave etc - Great people were previously hired so there are a lot of good people at the company - Some teams have strong team leads who protect and vouch for their teams and their culture is good

Cons

Note that the majority of Glassdoor reviews were submitted when Prolific was a very different place to work. The current reviews do not align to Prolific 2.0. - The culture has taken a big hit in 2024 and it's no longer a great place to work for many people. This is obvious by the large number of leavers there have been this year. - In a bid to improve revenue and performance, leadership brought in Prolific 2.0 which was delivered poorly and massively missed the mark - The salary isn't that competitive compared to other tech companies - Lack of transparency from leadership and bad delivery of company comms - Bottleneck situation regarding career progression in a number of teams

Pros

Great quick cash, fun, interesting surveys.

Cons

My account was placed on hold 2 times by chat bots, ironically. I complained. I was told I was fine, received an email it would not happen again and to continue working. While in the midst of another survey, I got locked out again. My information was 100% legitimate. No VPN, No double paypals. I used my correct DOB and address. Very frustrating, and now I have money pending I have to wait for. Not to mention, they basically have a slew of personal information about me (i.e, my demographics, my political views, my blood type, etc.) Pretty upsetting, especially when I did nothing. Please be careful and avoid this platform. They have so much of my personal information now. I do not feel after my experience, they can be trusted.
