You will receive intense experience in editing, including how to edit for specific journals. You will also receive experience in related skills such as writing cover letters, scientific edits, and completing forms to analyse the structure and style of a manuscript, and you will have to be vigilant to spot plagiarism. There is a massive support system, and all the support staff are very warm and knowledgeable....Read More
You must understand how your brain works and whether it will fit well with the pace and patterns of Cactus CRM/Work delivery platform requirements. There are many levels of quality checking before edits go back to authors, which means you need to be able to do a particular job within a particular period. You won't know how much workis needed on an edit till you open it up, And you are very dependent on your co-workers to have done their aspects of the job to the best standards so that you can start at a reasonable point, I takes a very singular focus and dedication to be comfortable in this space, you must enjoy pressure and attention to detail....Read More

Employer’s Response
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. Sushmitha Srinivasan, Freelance Engagement Specialist.

tie ups with coworking spaces. There's even an office you can go and work at, if you want. Otherwise, 100% remote.
Terrible work-life balance, low salary, low and very slow growth.

A mediocre company operating with a flawed business model.
Upskilling opportunities are nonexistent, while politics among senior employees dominate. There are no perks or chances for promotion—just a culture of favoritism and monopoly by long-standing employees. It’s not a place to learn or grow, making it a complete waste of time.
