The platform used to be one of the best freelance QA platforms, known for its transparency in selecting testers, high payouts, and strong opportunities to improve QA skills. However, things changed over time. First-come-first-serve exploratory cycles disappeared, and selection chances reduced-especially for testers with lower rankings, who are now heavily influenced by the number of projects assigned to them. That said, I still appreciate the platform for its strong human relations, friendliness, and the exposure it provides. One experience I will always be grateful for is winning a fully sponsored Eurostar conference ticket in 2021, which played a major role in kick-starting my automation testing journey.
