What are the best aspects of this product?
First of all, I think that this platform can be bigger than it is now. It is useful for both the company that hires freelancers to test out their initiatives and the freelancers themselves. This way, the companies can solicit for the opinion of people outside of their workforce. The freelancers, on the other hand, can earn extra income. It's a win-win situation. The platform itself is quite impressive too. There's nothing quite like it and I'm just glad that the lack of competition has not made them greedy and take an unfair percentage or cut from the income we make as freelancers.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The only "con" that I can see from my end is that Figure Eight does not seem to have a competition in the playing field. I bet that there's so much temptation for them to act unfairly towards their clients and the working sector (us). If it weren't for the integrity that this company upholds, I'm pretty sure that this platform would now be littered with really low rates and sub-par quality of tasks. Yet, it continues to improve and I'm really grateful for it.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
Figure Eight is a reliable platform that acts as a liaison between companies that need to get some tasks done and the people who can actually get these done aka the freelancers. So far, the pay has been on-time and the tasks are continuously stimulating.
