Hello! Thank you for your glowing review! I’m glad to know that your association with us has been fruitful.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time out to share your feedback! While I find your comments regarding work culture encouraging, I’m sorry to know that we missed the mark for you in terms of opportunities for growth. At CACTUS, we aim to create a supportive environment that enables our editors to reach their full potential, and I’m glad to know that we hit the mark for you in this regard. Given the contractual nature of our association, any opportunities for growth that we can provide are limited to helping our contractors hone their craft. With experience, our editors are given the option of working on different processes and higher value services. While we do understand that this is a drawback, if you feel there are other ways we can offer support, please do reach out to me at sushmitha.s1@cactusglobal.com.

Hi, Thank you for your sharing your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience at Cactus. Our Leadership group and HR team has been actively involved in implementing several new processes and systems which can reduce the workload of the team. To ensure work-life balance is maintained, we take into consideration Cactizens leave preferences and allow flexible hours of work.

We ensure all employees are provided feedback by the trainer/manager during training period as well as on live tasks.
