The team was orgnized fast and made the process easy to find phenomenal developers that have high levels of skill in brining projects to a close. I could not be more happy with our experince. They set up interviews fast they help you locate ones based on your higest needs and they start working within 2 weeks of request. The team is very communictive and they Guarantee any work that is not up to standards with a new dev no extra cost. What more can you ask for a new hire without the new hire risk. I will use Lemon.io again!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although the price is market standard for the developers they are only paid a small portion of the hourly cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's been a good experience with Lemon, I've applied May 2023, had two interesting projects so far and it's been great! The community is collaborative and responsive as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the new projects may not be a lot for a month or two, and sometimes they are not relavant to the main skills, but maybe it's the job market these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So, lemon.io is the only international platform that I could get a US/EU-based project. Most platforms are only job boards but not lemon.io. Lemon.io is a community, when some friendly lemon comes with a project for you they know you are a good fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes months go by without a project that mechs your experience and requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I joined, it took a while for them to actively send me job offers, but as soon as they started, several offers came my way. I had a small problem with the first customer (it wasn't Lemon's fault), but I ended up having to redo an internal process again. For the second client, everything went well, an excellent team, and everyone paid on time, without any problems. I have only positive feedback. The hourly rate is above the average for other outsourcing companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Negotiations are strictly hourly, therefore, there are no benefits other than this, such as vacations. You must plan correctly and define your hourly rate considering these "built-in extras", as you will only be paid for the hour/day worked. This is not necessarily a negative point, just something to keep in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very helpful in finding projects that match my skillset and interests. Very attentive team, payments received on time.
Also, they join and observe most client interviews, give you some pointers before the call and discuss how it went after.
One such calls, I felt the client was being somewhat fishy, and the person from Lemon agreed. So we decided to have one more call with them to get some things cleared and if it still didn't feel right, turn them down. which we did. I highlight this as it shows Lemon really has the dev's best interest in mind.
They found a great match for me and I worked for 8 months with that client through Lemon, before I was offered an indefinite contract. Nice to know that i'm still part of Lemon and could go back to finding clients with them, as long as it's been over a year since I got hired by the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No paid vacations or time off. Not really bad, just something to keep in mind when you set your hourly rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when you are looking for a projects there are times where you don't get many offers, although it's not their issue sometimes one relies a lot on that and feel anxious about it :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lemon keeps candidates well-informed about potential job opportunities, ensuring a seamless communication channel between them and employers. The recruitment process is characterized by transparency and fairness.
Additionally, Lemon provides a supportive network, offering valuable resources, guidance, and assistance, thereby contributing to a positive overall experience for candidates.
Furthermore, it's noteworthy that Lemon places emphasis not only on short-term matches but also on cultivating long-term relationships between freelancers and employers. This focus promotes stability and mutual growth for both parties Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are moments when the selection of available projects seems limited. However, it's important to note that these instances are infrequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like how they are able to match the freelancer's skills with startups to create a successful partnership between both. Also, I like that Lemon.io handles the payments from startups which is something that takes off pressure on the freelancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In some cases, it could take time to find a good fit project for freelancers. But depends on many factors and is not the full responsibility of Lemon.io. And the last thing is that sometimes they offer you projects outside of your timezone, that obviously are not a good match in most of the cases, but some devs could adapt to this.
