Scale AI - San Francisco, California

Theo Bologa

This company raises numerous red flags right from the start. They demand highly sensitive personal information, such as government IDs, passport details, and even facial photos, before offering any assurance of legitimate employment. This is a major breach of privacy and should be a warning sign for potential applicants.

Additionally, they have a track record of not paying employees on time, if at all. Many workers report being abruptly removed from projects within a few weeks, often without proper explanation or compensation. The lack of professionalism and accountability is alarming.

If you're considering working here, STEER CLEAR. If it seems too good to be true, it is.

Protect your personal information and thoroughly research any company before applying. There are better and more trustworthy opportunities out there.

DO NOT accept a job offer with Scale AI/Outlier AI and report them to local authorities and applicable websites.

I was approached by them through Upwork. The offer seemed sketchy and vague, so I decided to check out the reviews here. Turns out my intuition was right. Stay away from this company, only work with reputable businesses.

Working with Scale has been excellent! I've been with them for over six months now, and everything has been smooth sailing. No issues with tasks or payments whatsoever. Highly recommend!

It's a suspicious company with scam-like behavior that reaches out to people, often through the Upwork network, and after using them for some 'training' or unpaid work, they may close the contract without making the promised payments or offering much less than originally claimed. Stay away and stay safe!

La peor empresa que me ha contratado a través de UpWork. La información que nos dieron para empezar el proyecto estaba desactualizada, jamás respondieron mensajes y llegamos tarde a la plataforma donde debía realizarse. Como consecuencia, quedamos fuera.

As many people are saying, this is a scam company. They're hiring people through the Upwork platform but they're failing to pay what's due. Don't ever work with these "people"

Do not work for these people. They will try to get free labor with their "assessment exams" and use your answers to train their AI. If you get approached on Upwork, DO NOT work for them. Even if they have funded payments, they won't release them. Terrible company.

The modern equivalent of a sweat shop. They exploit hundreds of thousands of people around the world paying slave rates to feed the algorithm. Always remember snakes have scales and humans can be evil.
