Tough and long interview process (like others have noted). The good part is that clients will later be less likely to ask you much, they usually take for granted that you have already been vetted.
Lot's of jobs available, mostly serious clientele, almost entirely web related though.
Mostly it depends where you are from, regional rates differ (a travesty, but it's how they make bigger margins). I doubt you will get amazing rates if you already live in a wealthy country (US, UK etc), for us plebs in the rest of the world the rates are good.
Payouts are regular and can be via Payoneer, Paypal or wire transfer. Never had a problem with this aspect.
The bad bits, they take massive margins (up to 50%, as in half of all earnings, though that depends on your rate, they will sell you for as much as they can, and try to convince you to lower yours "to have more chance at landing a job", which is fine, they are a business).
Apart from providing a way to find jobs (which is very big deal), you won't really get anything from them. Once you're working you'll probably have no contact with them whatsoever if nothing is going wrong. Their platform is very automated though, so this is actually a positive.
Overall, a good experience, IMO more geared towards talented programmers in "second-world" countries.
