Pros

Nothing, absolutely nothing at all.

Cons

Misclassification of employees as contractors Forced use of extreme monitoring software from a company that retains rights to sell all data it collects from you, including from local files, web browsing, confidential personal files, etc. Unpaid invoices they have literally put in writing they don't intend to pay Less than minimum wage on some projects Mind-numbingly boring work Disorganized to the point of being laughable If you try to raise any concerns, you will be ignored, even if you raise the point that they're breaking the law

Pros

My pre-hire research found Mercor rated as an "above average to very good" AI-modeling platform, which is in line with Glassdoor's 4.0 employee rating. Based on my experience at Mercor, its employee rating is inflated, and the AI-modeling platform industry is in dire need of improvement if Mercor's industry is above average. Here are my pros: - Being paid for time spent on training. - Pay for Generalists is among the industry's highest. - Working remotely and on your schedule.

Cons

Communication at Mercor is horrible. For example, most of the emails I receive in my Mercor email account are coworkers who have no idea what to do next or who to ask to find out. Prompting emails from our Project Lead that instruct us to disregard said emails. Here are a few more cons: - Blaming everything on our clients. - Communication's ineffective and inefficient. - Disorganization. - Fear of being offboarded suddenly and without explanation. - Lack of employee rapport. - Not being valued. - Projects don't last long. And you may wait weeks for the next one.
