Pros

None actually, impolite, unprofessional team, no actual communication, tons of people complaining about the unpaid/delayed work, feels like they steal from their clients by removing workers who they owe money to

Cons

Hi everyone. I've read tons of stories on Alignerr being unpaid for work and removed just before the payment. Well, unfortunately, I still tried to work for them. I was hired for a project called Vera, VAD, voice activity detection, paid at $80/data row. I passed the evaluation for a $100 bonus, then completed 25 data rows, so that would total to $2,100 in earnings from last week. This week, the payment should be processed between tomorrow and Friday. I sent them an e-mail asking if I will get paid. It should be processed on Friday at the latest, so we'll see. However, they keep replying that the "decision is final" without giving me any reason as to what I violated. My rating was above average (4.0, the average was 3.5), and most of the reviewers said that I did my work perfectly, which I am confident, as I am a diligent worker. The support doesn't allow contacting them and provides an automatic response that the "payment will be withheld due to community rules violations". No violations were stated. No contact information is available, the chat does not work, and their information on the homepage that you will get paid after deactivation is not consistent with this.

Pros

Actual humans review assessments so if you fail one they still find you a project to work on.

Cons

Competitive and sometimes stressful to achieve project goals within wanted time frame.

Pros

Lots of opportunities for different people.

Cons

Many projects are run by scammers that don't pay. AI assessments are rigid so that only getting 100% of the questions means you passed. if you get a 95% you still failed.
