Pros

If everything works out the way they advertised, you could make up to $25/hr evaluating the quality of AI generated prompts. If you are working towards or already have a college degree, you could earn even more than that for evaluating prompts of specific subjects. They offered me a position making $40/hr to evaluate psychology-related writing. It's a work from home job, so you can make your own hours, decide when and how long you want to work, and the work itself is fairly simple, however it requires much attention to detail.

Cons

Before completing the onboarding process, I was promised $25/hour. After completing a few training modules (most of which were long, drawn out, redundant, and unhelpful), it showed that I would be making $15/hr. I worked for 1.5-2 hours and only earned $17.18. Since then, the page to accept new projects says "Hey there! Our system is unable to find a project for you to work on. Please contact support and an engineer will work to resolve the issue in a timely manner." I am now waiting to hear back from them, but I'm not holding my breath.

Pros

The short time that I had consistent work was very good. Never had a problem with pay. Paid fairly for work. Plus, I really enjoyed learning all the different tasks. With the "Cons" issues made clear upfront, I would recommend this platform to a friend.

Cons

Applied as a specialist. Only offered generalist work. And haven't had any new projects for a while. The projects I was invited to earlier this year were poorly designed and involved long onboarding processes. They were all iterations of the same poorly-designed project. Since then, nothing. It's frustrating to see job listings from them in my field of expertise and not be able to apply to them. And yes, I've kept my resume and LI updated. It doesn't seem to matter. Also, comparing the community chat platform, monitoring, and ease of use to other (similar) platforms I work with, Outlier's is the worst one. I've found that there are far more people who use Reddit to get their project questions answered and to try to find out what is happening than use and actually get answers from Outlier's own discussion platform.
