What do you like best about Andela?

I currently work as an Independent contractor for Andela for one of their partners, One thing I love about working with them is the ease of use of their talent platform, chat system, and payment options.

One thing I have realised, having worked for two different Andela's partners is that remunerations don't get delayed and no matter when you're in the world, there is always a withdrawal method available for you, so your money is not left hanging.

I also love the fact that they handle all legal and contract dealings between you and their partners and make it compulsory that you’re given a one-month notice if the partner is considering ending a contract abruptly, this was an advantage for me when I was laid off from my previous engagement.

Another thing, I love is the job opportunities, the Andela team does their best to ensure that companies that their talents get to work with are global companies building awesome products

One other thing, they do is organising different upskilling programs for individuals in their network, whether one is on an engagement or not.

I must also applaud their customer support team, they're usually quick in responding to issues that are reported during office hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Andela?

1. Job Scarcity: The market today is facing a macroeconomy, which means companies are laying off engineers, and most of those engineers happen to be contractors, and some of those contractors are usually Andela contractors, the sad thing here is most of those contractors don't get a new engagement maybe months after they're laid off. The reason I think is that a lot of Andela talents are competing for the few jobs available, the problem is Andela keeps adding new talents to their network even though most of the talents in the network are still looking for engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Job Opportunities: It's hard searching for genuine job opportunities, what Andela does, is that its matchers search for these jobs, validate them and link you to them

2. Verification and Background Checks: Most foreign firms would rather use the services of a reputable service provider like Andela to recruit than employ foreign engineers directly, as they believe those contractors would have been verified and checked by Andela.

3. Payment: Global payment is not an easy thing, which is one of the advantages I have with Andela, as I'm usually not worried about my wages, seeing that I can receive my wages from anywhere in the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incentivized Review
What do you like best about Andela?

I am thankful Andela allowed me to start my career in software development with no prior "industry" experience, having just completed the mandatory university industrial attachment and a few freelance and self-taught experiences. Through this opportunity, I have learned to build software that works and generates revenue for the partner. I recently participated in the Andela upskilling program, where I learned LangChain, Pinecone, OpenAI, and Google's Gemini Models. I am building on top of that and looking to increase my output with these skills or change careers. With Andela's remote work, I can work freely; I am productive in the morning, so waking up at 5 AM will always see me completing my day's tasks by afternoon, allowing me to focus on other commitments before the day ends. Andela and the partner I work for are big names, and this association puts my credibility and reputation very high in the tech industry, even as a starter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Andela?

Since I joined Andela in late 2022 and was matched with a partner a month later, I have not had any negative encounters with either party. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I go to the office once a week as a partner requirement, but when at the office, I am always just looking toward the next break. I don't enjoy working from the office, and I won't blame my 13" screen since I have an excellent setup with a massive monitor in my home office. Working from home is the best thing I enjoy as part of this work. There is no noise from colleagues trying to keep my eyes off these colleagues laughing and hugging just in front of me and the aroma from the other colleague who opened her lunch box.

Not much to dislike for me at least. I have been a user for 3 years almost and I love it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They connect you to great companies and allow you to work directly with them. Freelance contracting is super hard to get and to do this without Andela, I would have to spend a lot of time searching for roles. Andela make it super easy to connect with potential clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
