Pros

Flexible remote setup, timely payments, helpful team communication, clear task guidelines, and exposure to AI-related work.

Cons

Low payment rate (only $0.40 per task), and although the team often claims they are working to increase the rate, no action has ever been implemented. They only seem to consider the top 15 performers in the annotation team—some reportedly making 1,600 tasks or more per week—without transparency or investigation into how it's realistically possible to complete 1,600 tasks weekly when each task can take 10–30 minutes? Meanwhile, the majority of workers struggle to meet quotas like 500 tasks or more and are often overlooked. The company appears to disregard the concerns and difficulties of most annotators because the top 15 performers are used as a benchmark, even though they do not advocate for better pay for everyone.

Pros

None - total con job using you

Cons

Total con job. Uses your financial background to extract value to their clients. I get it - I'm not ignorant - however the entire selection process was about financial modeling, markets, etc. and then EVERY step after was a protracted process about "fix this rubric" "fix this word" never mentioned in job description or selection process. ~40 hours, $0 because i gave up. And the best part!?!? They'd send you contradictory, overlapping and overly descriptive yet simultaneously imprecise requests for what they want, from multiple people. They'd literally send me a 5 minute video per person, where it's clearly more efficient if they fixed it themselves, and we could each specialize in our individual AOI and provide value.
