I like that they offer a lot before hiring u
I don't like that they ghost u and take advantage of u. They will give u projects and we work on them. Suddenly they disappear.

Previous management was very trusting and helpful.
New management is manipulative. Makes up abhorrent reasons/frames freelance employees to remove them instead of just admitting that the company needs to downsize.

Pay is at par with the standards.
The worst bunch of HRs and Talent Acquisition ever. They just delay the process. Also, please give the stupid talent acquisition person a watch and a calendar. The managing editor and team leader is horrible. They don't review your work and then just say you don't meet the standards when your mistake has never been pointed out. Client accepts the work and they still fire you.

You get to work with top clients from diverse niches.
Complicated editing process with poor communication causes unescessarily high revisions. Work may not be guaranteed while freelancing.

Have a great client base and work was good.
I was a freelancer with pepper for three years. The thing I disliked is that they would ask you to leave all of sudden. I was pregnant and on bed rest when my creator account got locked and after that there is no response from them. it was very weird and unusual on their part. Also they don't respond to your requests.

Good for those who need some extra income while freelancing.
Projects sometimes do not have editors, there is a lack of communication between the Pepper team which creates problems for freelance writers, and no appraisals. I recently worked on a project where the client kept micro-managing us and asked us to increase the word count to nearly twice the actual figure -- at no extra pay. And theproject had no editors for several weeks. Not to mention, assignments were rejected despite all the conditions being met, since the client did not want to pay us....Read More

I have no idea what to say here. I wonder how is this thing still in business.
This place is not co-ordinated, there is no proper system that one can base their expectations on about work, about salary expectations. Very poor and frustrating overall work experience.

Sadly I don't have enough reasons to like Pepper Content.
They disguise freelancers. They promise to give good amount as compared to others in the industry but fail to provide enough work to the freelancers to earn. Communication is pathetic...there is literally no manager or lead is allotted to the freelancers..so that they can reach the concerned person for ant query or problem. Delay inpayment...it took 2 months to release the payment of three articles. Over the course of 6months they allotted just 3 articles. Not a promising company to work with....Read More

The best thing about Pepper is there is no office culture or politics you have to face. The only thing is convenience and freelance work type if you want to work can work if you don't want just stop doing. They will pay only when you will work.
The list is endless 1. They offer you a particular pay rate like ₹1.2 per word but in reality they give you ₹0.8 per word. 2. All are freelance position so there is no security. 3. The worst part is they give the money almost after 45 days officially (in 2023). There is no guarantee that even you will get the money because even after client approve they put in on hold for unlimited times and thus I lost 94K. This is of a total of three months money. Yes, that too when I worked for their client and client approved the work. So if you think still you want to join go ahead. 4....Read More

Allows you to accept or decline the assignment.
There is no point of contact and the issues remain unresolved for months. It feels like one is talking to a bot with an expected sort of responses. The payment cycle is after 45 days and the writer only gets paid if the client approves the content within the cycle. The payment is uneven and they manipulate the prices. Moreover, there is no way to find out if the client has uncleared the article or if Pepper Content has withheld the money with unethical practices. Not recommended!...Read More

When I joined Pepper Content about two years ago, they were a very good brand. They use to provide assignments on time, the work was reviewed and submitted to the client on time, who in turn approved it within 1 month of submission. Hence, the payments also came within the window. The management back then was quite good.
Since the start of 2023, the company has provided poor support to the writers and editors. First, the client can request as many edits as required so the work gets stuck in revision cycles. Then, there's no time limit on when the client should approve. I have assignments that were submitted 3 months ago but the client has not approved so I haven't gotten paid. You have to constantly contact them for updates and even then you get limited information....Read More

Management system of allocating work is good.
They don't have much clients to allocate the work to freelancers. They have hired so many freelance writer & don't have work to allocate. Trouble in submitting assignment Payment delays by 5-6 months No clarity from their side on anything No response on mail or phone call Basically, don't join Pepper content if you are considering this as your primary source of income. It is not as great as it appears.....Read More

Job security. They laid off 50+ employee without any prior notice, after this event which shocked every individual in the organization, more than 50 employee resigned because there are no job security. They are planning to lay off few more by September'23. The company will be bankrupt soon, they have no major clients with them right now. Investors are pulling out and people stopped trusting them.
