Labelbox reviews

- Think twice before joining. This company is one of the most poorly run organizations I've worked for. - Leadership prioritizes optics and revenue (which does not exist) over employees, execution, and long-term success. - Work-life balance is nonexistent. Nobody tells you to work nights or weekends/public holidays, but the workload makes it impossible not to. - You're expected to stay online after hours, respond on Slack constantly, and somehow keep up with an unrealistic amount of work. - FDEs are treated like disposable labor. You're expected to be an engineer, TPM, solutions architect, customer success manager, and on-call firefighter all at the same time. - FDEs are expected to compensate for poor planning, understaffing, and management failures while receiving little recognition for keeping projects alive. - The director of the Human Data business is either sleeping and/or on zyn. - The MDs contribute very little beyond status updates, escalations, and adding pressure. They rarely remove blockers or make teams more effective. They create unnecessary stress and chaos running around like headless-chickens. - Most managers disappear until a project starts failing. Then they suddenly appear demanding impossible timelines and asking teams to cut corners just so revenue can be recognized that month. - Alignerr and Human Data are severely understaffed. Employees routinely do the work of two or three people because leadership refuses to hire appropriately. - The Director of Human Data/Alignerr oversaw an organization defined by constant firefighting, poor communication, and reactive decision-making instead of operational excellence. - There is almost no transparency from leadership. The people generating revenue and keeping customers happy are given virtually no visibility into the company's direction or future. - Questions about the company's long-term plans or fundraising were routinely ignored or brushed aside, leaving employees completely in the dark. - Promotions, titles, and organizational decisions feel arbitrary and disconnected from reality. - There is effectively no job security. I personally saw employees laid off after only a month at the company. - If you're joining on a work visa, don't assume you'll be treated any differently. Employees were let go regardless of immigration status, often with little warning. - Loyalty is not rewarded. Employees are viewed as short-term resources that can be replaced the moment leadership decides to reduce costs.

Think twice before considering joining this dumpster fire of a company: 1. Every statement from leadership is a lie to make things sound good or to keep clients from leaving for competitors, all while forcing employees to work ungodly hours. While there is no formal requirement, you’re expected to stay up late on most days trying to get work done (because of the sheer amount of work to do) and replying on Slack just to update middle management while they sit back and do nothing. The company would rather use you and throw you out like a tissue instead of fostering a healthy work culture. 2. The executive leadership is completely broken from the top down. The CEO acts like an IC instead of leading the company, is completely antisocial, and only wants to be surrounded by "yes" people where disagreements are not tolerated and it is strictly his way or the highway. Right alongside him, the spineless Director of Human Data does 0 work and fires people for no reason while trying to act cool with everyone. This management layer has no idea where the company is going. Their only goal is revenue targets, and their only strategy is throwing FDEs, TPMs, and money at problems like headless chickens while remaining completely disengaged. 3. Meanwhile, FDEs are treated like slaves by MDs who know nothing about the industry, and promotions and titles are given out like raffle cards to inexperienced people who were just in the right place at the right time. Alignerr services is a disaster. It is severely understaffed yet you will be expected to do the work of three people simply because management cannot handle their own basic responsibilities. Management disappears until a project is actively failing, then shows up demanding everyone cut corners to force out garbage data just to log revenue for the month. On top of that, the platform itself is held together with gum and toothpicks, constantly breaking, yet management expects flawless execution. When you finish a project and do a good job, there is zero recognition, just more work dumped on your plate. If you make any mistake, you will feel like your job is on the line or you’ll be treated poorly for the mistake. This company will never give you job security and they will throw you out on a moment notice.
