Definitely a place to work if you want constant anxiety and job insecurity.

Dislikes

While joining, they state that it is a 40 hours/ week job from Monday to Friday and they sign you up on one year contract. But, you frequently go through 'slow down' phases where you have no work, hence no pay for those days either. Some times, new tasks for the project are available on Friday, and they expect you to work during theweekends and fill your hours. They do not pressurise you to work, but they will question it later if we do not. Most of time, we end up working for 10 to 12 hours a day, but they pay is only for 8 hours a day. There is no job security even if you are a top performer. They make you do everything. They might promote you to the pod lead or team lead positions but there is no increase in pay. The pay is very low compared to all the companies offering similar roles. They say work hours are flexible but then there might not be any work when you are available so you will end up working when they want. Despite all your efforts and time, despite being a top performer or a lead, they will just put you on 'non-billable hours' and kick you out of the organisation on all platforms without telling us that we are kicked out....Read More

Besides the flexible work hours, it was a horrible experience. Please save yourself the mental anguish and work somewhere else.

Dislikes

They will lead you on promising a project will continue and then suddenly send you an email at 3:00am telling you you're being fired. Despite being someone who's consistently done outstanding work evident by the TL's praises.

I enjoy the collaborative environment and the opportunity to work on innovative projects with talented individuals. Turing's focus on remote work also allows for flexibility and a diverse team, which enriches the overall experience.

Dislikes

While I appreciate the flexibility of remote work, it can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation. Additionally, occasional communication challenges can arise in a fully remote setup, making it important to be proactive in staying connected with the team.

Nothing, it's just useless and waste of time.

Dislikes

They ask you to work for 8 hours, but the ideal work will be for more than 11 hoursin order to complete 8 hours. Pay is based on the number of hours you work. Even if you work 11 hours, it may be counted as 4 or 5 hours sometimes. They offboard you for silly mistakes No job security No fixed pay No development work, you should be working as a trainer for llm which is of no use for you No skill development No promotions No hike for promotions if you are promoted Most important thing, no peace and work life balance...Read More

Get to work on LLM Technology but only curating RLHF and SFT Data Remote Job Earn in USD

Dislikes

Compensation among developers at Turing lacks standardization. Some developers may experience underpayment, while others receive comparatively higher compensation. It is important to note that rate fluctuations of approximately ±$20 USD for similar work are common. The client-facing team at Turing could benefit from enhanced professionalism and communication. There is a perception that some team members may not engage collaboratively with developers, which could impact team dynamics. Instances of unprofessional communication and a tendency to shift blame for project setbacks have been observed. Improving accountability and fostering a supportive work environment would be beneficial. Client is sometimes is provided with LLM generated SFT datasets and RLHF. Racial bias exists in hiring developers and promotion. Most of you will be used until replaced by developer of choice / race at same pay. Be ready to be fired anytime. No annual leaves / PTOs for contractors, however you will see Management enjoying Christmas holidays but asked to pull 2x work from Contractors during same period. Turing culture has deteriorated and doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon. Turing is just middle man enjoying wage arbitrage. I'll suggest LLM companies to open offshore offices to curate quality data sets than get manipulated by Turing. I'll suggest interested contractors to find a stable job and moonlight here as you know Turing can fire you anytime. Do not assume your manager is technical at all. If you don't say yes they will fire you....Read More
