“ODesk has proved to be a great asset to my organization.”

I am a buyer on Odesk, just about to start my first project. Some of them will be offered dream jobs on the basis of their work on oDesk. These guys working on oDesk don’t have to work more hours per week than they’d like. Meaning that Odesk is garbage that works for garbage companies to employ garbage labor. If you simply forget to turn on oDesk Team client while working, and then can you add the missing time ad “offline”, and explain to to your customer why do you need it.

I’ve been using oDesk for about a year, and I have been on equal terms with all the clients that I have worked with.

Monitor Activity - oDesk Team creates filmstrips of the provider”s online activity . I believe that oDesk’s solution is simply bringing distance work closer to “actually being there”.

“oDesk, marketplace for developers, raises $8 million “, VentureBeat. In February 2008, oDesk started providing detailed statistics about its economy, including hours worked, buyer and provider growth, hourly rates statistics, penetration by country and skill. According to these statistics during the first quarter of 2008, oDesk providers billed approximately 400,000 hours working online at an average rate of $13-$14/hr.

The oDesk Team software was designed to allow project managers to verify the work of remote employees through screenshots, mouse clicks and keyboard activity. If you are a programmer and you “think” algorithms while working then oDesk is not for you.

I have my time on my own and I can work anywhere there is internet connection, of course i always bring my laptop anywhere i go. Weekly payments are always prompt and I never will trade oDesk for any office work.

I’ve been using odesk for the past few weeks.

The reason is, oDesk logs hours based on the number of key taps and mouse click and movement.

I was debating on the bus ride home today whether I should work with oDesk / Expert Rating to make some better Drupal tests. Whereas oDesk helps developers from all over the world find clients, and vice versa, CVSDude provides tools that help developers collaborate with each other and share their work with clients.

Looks like oDesk is keeping their SVN and promoting the one from CVSDude as an upgrade.

Granted, we don’t use oDesks existing solution, and I am sure most other companies don’t either because, well, it sucked.

Mark- Thanks for the story- we are excited to provide hosting for oDesk’s customers, and their trusted online marketplace for developers will help our customers grow their own businesses.

We had a buyer dispute our work, after doing the preliminary work offline, he disputed our hours, Odesk says we owe a refund.

Buyer gets the work on time and providers get the payment on time.So, all my dear friends, you can work with oDesk without any problem.

I, on the contrary, would highly recommend oDesk.
