I don't recommend Oyster. Pathetic service. I have not received SWIFT payment in Feb'26. They didn't react well to track the payment. I received it after 20 days that too from an unknown source with u... See more

Overall, I got really nothing to complain about except from benefits. I think lower tiers employees should have much better packages for insurances. Instead you are giving them bad packages. With Mult... See more

Generally great with a little grain

Generally great. Support was quick for me, always polite and patient. They answered all my questions, the delay was less than a day usually. I already started working, seems good so far. The little grain I mentioned that several phrases in the contract for Germany were sounding a bit vague to me even after support explanation and are not changed, since the contract is standard. But I was promised the legal team would consider rephrasing those points, let's see how it goes :)
If the formulation gets changed, I am ready to put the maximum score.

The instructions I received from Oyster…

The instructions I received from Oyster were clear, and their website is easy to use. Having access to an assigned Oyster support member was great and helped answer my questions.

Overall, I am very pleased with the experience.
