In some cases, would be nice if they provided contractors with hardware - in those cases where machines may be out of date Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I joined Andela as a Software Engineer in 2017; it has been the best decision ever. I have met some of the world's most brilliant minds; I have worked with many Andela Partners on many exciting projects. And last but not least it has provided me with a rich sense of community; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike so far. As with many in the tech world, the biggest challenge has been job opportunities in recent times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great tool that has a significant number of features that help me find the best matches when I used to look for a new one. Furthermore, the way features are organized is good.

For example, the Andela recommendation system and Andela Pay are things that I most like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything I dislike, the system delivers what it purpouses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been working with Andela for the past 6 months and I found it a great place to work. Getting a chance to work with big clients who do solid work in technology it is also helping me grow personally and professionally.

Andela team also makes sure we are delivery quality work as well as we are happy at the work place as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see anything as of now that I don't like about Andela. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I appreciate the constant check-ins to make sure that talent is performing up to expectations and the rigorous vetting process to save us time and effort with interviewing. I also appreciate that the talent offered tend to have very low turn-over rate, further saving us time and effort to knowledge transfer overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None that I have noticed so far. Keep up to good work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

They have a professional talent team which helps you all along the way. The process is highly streamlined. And they provide opportunities to global talent like me chances which are hard to get in our own country. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
