What are the pros and cons of working in an hourly office?

Question

Career in IT

Worked in the office for a fix. Recently, they proposed to go on a design basis. That is, there is a project, the developer says in how many hours he will finish the project. These hours are multiplied by dollars.
Please share your experience with this circuit. What pitfalls can she have? As I understand it, this will motivate developers to quickly turn in the work and proceed to the next one.

Answer 1

Зависит, конечно, он вашей компании. У меня был такой опыт, но там была шарашкина контора - иногда приходилось без проектов сидеть неделю, и, соответственно, без оплаты. Плюс, это - черная схема в плане ЗП. Не знаю, существуют ли способы оформить это всё официально.
Также минус - что всякие корпоративы, чаепития с коллегами, обсуждения чего-то - всё за свой счет, в плане того, что хоть это и происходит в рабочее время, но оно по факту вам не оплачивается, в отличие от работников с окладом. Ну только если вы не закладываете это всё в оценку проекта:)

Answer 2

This is a casino multiplied by your experience + reputation.
If you're lucky, you'll take on a lot of projects and eat well, but what if you don't?

Answer 3

You will actually work 4 hours a day. The rest of the time, these are breaks, lunches, agreements and other related dregs. Here also consider.
It actually looks like some kind of scammer. There is a category of cunningly ** puffy leaders who live off staff turnover.

Answer 4

Depends on what kind of projects will be. Have you done this before or not. Because when a new technology or project, the developer estimates the timeframe plus or minus a kilometer, because it is not clear how fast the study will go. Those. there is a risk of running out of hours and either letting the customer down or losing money on his own.
Well, Pyatachok correctly noted that everything depends on the organization of work. I talked with people who were paid by the hour, but they gave a project and said that you have to do it in 4 hours and we pay you for 4 hours, and there was work for 8-10 hours.

Answer 5

They go to the office for stability.
And the described scheme is good for a freelancer who works for results and does not care about the stability of the office.
That is, this proposal for the office sounds somewhat strange.
Wangyu - you have a small desk that is not able to provide you with a stream of orders.

Answer 6

The first job was just like that.
At the end of the day, they wrote a report in a special program on which task how much time it took.
The RFP was calculated based on these reports.
In winter, orders were normal, in summer there was a downtime, the money received at the end of the month paid only for travel and food. Dropped it after six months.
Yes, there were attempts to slightly manipulate the system, I wrote more time for the task than I really spent, but still within the framework of plausibility.
