They want all of your waking hours and give nothing in return - werkgeversreview QA Analyst bij DevSquad

- You have to use your own computer; - They make you install this clock app on your computer, that's nearly impossible to delete, that tracks your every move and takes screenshots of your screen randomly at different times of the day--and that's on your own computer, so if you have to, like, pay a bill, that means you'll have to clock out and then clock back in once you've closed any personal screen. If you stop moving your mouse for something like 60 seconds it will freeze the clock in a way that those frozen minutes won't count towards your daily pay. So, say you step away from your computer for ten minutes every hour, which is considered healthy, that means you'll have taken a total of an 80-minute break at the end of the day which you'll have to make up for. So, instead of working for eight hours you'll end up working for 9h20, at least. At first, they make it sound like the clock is no big deal but after some time they start calling you out if you don't have 8 "clean" hours (meaning 8 hours of uninterrupted mouse/keyboard movement). Your eyes get strained from extended exposure to the screen and you get burned out quickly. To be fair, the workload was nothing too crazy, most of the time. But the fact that you had to be clocked in most of your waking hours was super counter productive and it removed most of the benefits that work from home has to offer. Work life balance was garbage and I think the only reason why I endured for so long was because it was the middle of the pandemic.
