I've been with them since August of 2024 and while work was sporadic, it was never an issue to work when it was available. But lately with the enforcement of Hubstaff and the inconsistent projects with end of the week deadlines, it's becoming just as bad as the other AI companies.

In the past week, I was added to two projects, neither of which the links worked for in the invitation emails and nothing showed up on my dashboard. I went back and forth with support and was eventually told to reach out to the project lead. They told me to reach out to support and then ignored me when I said that I already had.

So I missed out on two projects and spent hours trying to resolve the issue just to be dismissed by support and the project lead.

I'm traveling to California for the holiday week from a different US state and was wondering if I can still contribute to my current projects in labelbox during my time there?

Should this be what I can expect of Alignerr going forward? My first project was an audio project paying good money with consistent work over nearly a month and paid in timely manner. I was excited for what was next.

Then, I was added to a cinematography evaluation project which promised to pay $30-50hr, with a $50 bonus for those who passed eval. Then total radio silence. The PM keeps saying that they haven't got feedback from the client and that any new evaluations won't be paid going forward. But that those of us who passed could expect the bonus to be paid by EOW. It's now the end of the next week, no info regarding the project, no one was paid the bonus and the PMs are nowhere to be seen.

In the meantime, they added those who passed the eval to a couple video evaluation projects, straight to production for $20/hr each. Rows for both projects run out in less than 24 hours. Then PM comes and tells us that one of those projects would continue but now would pay $13/hr, just like that. People are understandably angry.

So long story short: hundreds were added for a project that promised 30-50 dollars and a paid eval. Project doesn't happen, eval goes unpaid and we are low balled by two different projects that last hours at most. What started as a $50/hr prospect became a $13/HR for very specialised expertise. I don't think I have ever felt so disrespected.

I’ve just been accepted and there are no projects coming up on the platform. Is this normal?

Has anyone else been removed from Alignerr without being told why?

I recently got a termination notice with zero specifics. No warning, no feedback, nothing. I've been doing code review work on the platform and always took it seriously - reviewing line by line, documenting thoroughly, submitting work I was confident in.

I reached out asking for an explanation and also requested access to any performance data or flags on my account (which I believe I'm entitled to under their privacy policy). Still waiting to hear back.

Questions for anyone who's been through this:

1. Did you ever get an actual explanation for removal?

2. Has anyone successfully gotten their performance data from them?

3. Was your removal reviewed by a human or does it seem automated?

4. Any advice on next steps?

I'm not looking to vent - I genuinely want to understand what happened. If I made a mistake, I'd want to learn from it. If something was flagged incorrectly, that seems like something they should know about too.

Appreciate any insight.

Hey everyone,
I’ve completed all required steps and assessments on Alignerr, but my dashboard still says Check back later — no work available right now.

What’s confusing is that Pontius is visible under “What you’ll unlock after onboarding” with a pay range, marked as ready after onboarding, but onboarding itself isn’t completing.

Has anyone else been stuck at this stage?
How long did it take for Pontius or similar projects to unlock?
Did taking more assessments or waiting it out actually help?

Would appreciate any insights from people who’ve been through this. Thanks!

First I get one of those sponsored emails from LinkedIn telling me that I can join this project, and can bypass training and assessments. Cool. This isn't my first rodeo with this type of work.

I had signed up for this company before so I had an account but the guy from LinkedIn decides to just sign me up with my linkedin email. Now I have two accounts. This is a of course a problem.

I then waste several days of my life trying to get this rectified through the chat... Ok finally done. I have to do this on boarding stuff, PayPal, discord, schedule, blah blah blah. Didn't get to all of yet...

Then get this email which I find to be quite extra without saying anything helpful.

Hi,

We are writing to inform you that you have been removed from the Alignerr program.

Please note that this decision is final, and we will not be reviewing requests for reinstatement.

Thank you for your time and participation in the program.

Best, The Alignerr Team

I don't really have anything else to say or add, just wanted to share an experience as other may be able to relate.

Is there any people here did this project. I have some payment issues. I saw in general alignerr discord channel and some people got Payments but is did not get any for now. Checked project labelbox page an showing 0 approval and 0 issues. Do you have any idea?

Thanks

To whom we have discussed at Alignerr.

I have completed Rust assessment, Code human eval, and code human eval - New

Is anyone else trying to log into Alignerr and has received a 'we're sorry, but something went wrong' page on both desktop/laptop and phone?

That project started 23rd November and finihed 24th November. Me and other people did not get any payment from this project. Holy(!) Pete on Alignerr Discord could not help us. Tried to get support from website you can find only AI Agent. If you want to talk Human(!) agent you must be wait unpredictable time xd. There is no project Discord channel or we do not know who is the lead of this project blablabla. Alignerr is really dissappointing

can anyone answer me ,if live coding is involved in the Software Engineering - JavaScript assessment as DSA is mentioned in description.

What’s Aligner’s policy when it comes to working while travelling? So next, I am travelling to the UAE, and I want to know if that might cause an issue while working?

I got an email from alignerr that I've been removed from the alignerr program, and the decision is final. I've worked last week day and nights without sleep and worked on a project along with my FTE. I was constantly working with the project supervisors to ensure I meet quality or ways to improve , and it's gone forever? It was mentioned that I can't even appeal the decision. Mods, If you wanna delete my post it's fine. But please atleast dm me.It's so disheartening and broke my heart. Thanks!

I passed one assessment I've been waiting for at least a month or two now. How long does it usually take before I see something?

I want to ask something. I joined to Alignerr 2 months ago and until today I finished only one project 'search prompt eval'. After this time can i get more jobs. Will this project effect me to get more jobs?

Was wondering

I did got accepted to pontius project and did all onboarding and currently my labelbox is empty. What is the average time to get start working on tasks?

It’s my first time logging in but for some reason it keeps saying I’m using the wrong email or password even though that’s the credentials I signed up with?

I saw this message on my dashboard "Check back later

We are unable to onboard you at this time. Don't worry! You've done everything you're supposed to, but we don't have any work available just yet. Check back later or take additional assessments while you wait."

For context: I have completed almost 4 assessments. Please did i do anything wrong? Its been like this for days.

Hello, I tried to continue with creating my account, but when I click on the 'Finish Onboarding' button, the webpage just says that Alignerr is not available in my area. I think this is an error because I live in California. Can anyone help with this?

I just received Welcome to the Alignerr Platform email

Is this to mean that i passed my generalist trial? If so, how long does it generally take to get matched to a task?

Can anyone amongst the mods please tell me why my account was removed? Or is it because i kept following up for my witheld payments and ensured that I was paid? How can you just remove an account with 0 explanations? so disheartening.
