What do you like best about Andela?

Andela offers a variety of wonderful clients to work with. They care a lot about finding good clients and provide support to their own employees. This is my 5th year at Andela and I'm really happy working here.

The Andela platform is very easy to use and comes with various useful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Andela?

Not a problem but something to keep in mind. Andela calculates salaries based on working days and not the full month, this means taking a day off would deduct more money from your salary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Andela solving and how is that benefiting you?

Andela solves the problem of connecting individual engineers with companies that need them. Once in the network you'll be able to apply for the various clients and work with them. This saves time since I can just look for new clients inside the network if I ever need to switch jobs instead of trying to look for remote jobs by myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Andela?

What I like best is how they address and streamline the process for you to engage with their clients.

As an Andela talent, if a client is interested in your profile, they will assist you through the entire engagement process, from interview preparation to finalizing the necessary paperwork once you're good to start.

Likewise, it's comforting to know they'll mediate any issues that arise: You share your feedback with them, and they'll handle the communication with the client in the best possible manner.

I've had a great experience with Andela's support so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Andela?

Since Andela's salary calculation is based solely on working days instead of the full month, taking a day off can significantly reduce your monthly pay, and that might discourage you from taking time off at all.

In addition, I'm not a fan of the fact that some of the tools they provided were replaced over time, requiring us to adapt to new ones. For instance, the shift from Slack to Andela Chat, Deel to Andela Pay, and from Andela emails to personal emails for platform login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Andela solving and how is that benefiting you?

It simplifies the administrative aspects of international employment (such as paperwork and payments), as well as provides guidance and support throughout the talent's engagement. All this frees me up to focus on my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
