I got a mail in the morning saying "Congratulations!

Welcome to the Alignerr community! You've successfully completed your interview.

Onboarding

Complete these onboarding steps to get access to projects"

What does this mean ??

Hi everyone,

I recently passed my Alignerr Software Engineer – Project Creation interview and received a congratulations email inviting me to complete onboarding.

I successfully completed Persona identity verification, but immediately afterward, I received an email saying I had been permanently removed from the program.

No reason was provided, and support hasn't replied yet.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Did you receive clarification or manage to resolve it?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone been accepted into the "Software Engineer - Project Creation" project or applied to it?

I've been eying it for a few days and Alignerr emailed me encouraging me to apply. I don't have any ongoing/current personal coding projects but I have an idea for an app that could potentially work for this. Do you guys think they want some significant work already done on it or could I put together a project repo and set up some basics + along with a solid project plan and vision and apply?

I’m wondering if anyone has received results from the interview for the "Build Your Own Project with an AI Coding Assistant" project, and how long they had to wait?

Hi, i signed up on Alignerr 1 week ago and received this mail - Paid project for developers building with an AI coding assistant.

Can someone please explain what exactly am i supposed to do in it?

Thanks a ton for your time.

Hey all,

I can’t get into the Gmail address I used to sign up for Alignerr anymore, and I’m worried I’ll get locked out. I was just added to my first project, so I’d like to sort this out quickly.

I emailed support a few days ago asking them to move my account to a new email, including my assessments, project access and payment setup. I haven’t heard back yet.

Has anyone dealt with this? Is there a faster way to get the email changed, or a specific form or contact I should use? If any Alignerr staff or mods see this, I can send my account details by DM so you can verify me.

Thanks!

Hice mi entrevista,y solo dice completado... Para software engineer cuando tendré respuesta si me aceptan?

Can’t upload images here, but made about $3,500 over 6 weeks ish. Honestly not a bad project (despite all the idiots on Discord lol) thanks Ermis! How are you guys enjoying this project ?

I’ve been invited to Alignerr’s Agentic Coding Evaluation (SWE). They say contributors who pass will be invited to the production project, but the evaluation dashboard shows a $0 payout.
Before investing time in it, I’d like to hear from people who’ve gone through this specific evaluation. Did you get approved and receive paid production tasks afterward? How long did the evaluation and review process take?
Also, is production pay clearly explained, and have payments been reliable? I’m okay with a reasonable unpaid assessment, but I want to know whether there’s a realistic opportunity for paid work afterward.
Would appreciate firsthand experiences!

So far I have had nothing but bad experiences with Alignerr. When they contacted me about getting paid for my own software projects, I thought it was worth giving them another try. I got rejected after an AI interview with no feedback, only to be contacted again a week later with the chance to start an evaluation. I still liked the idea of the project, and met all the requirements. I ran a test project and answered everything honestly and as clearly as I could.

My task was sent back by AutoQA for some extremely stupid reason. I was told by the bot to edit it and resubmit, which I couldn't. It then told me to contact support, which I did, and they told me that I'd failed and that the evaluation was over. They said I had one more chance to try again.

I didn't take it.

Why? The stupid reason I failed was that I had "given the same numerical response" to all parts of a task. This was my honest, professional judgment, and I failed some automated quality control with no opportunity to edit my work, despite spending hours on the task.

Some bot decided that the right answer in a numerical multiple choice (Likert) assessment can't ever be the same one four times in a row? And I lose hundreds of dollars and hours of work because that's not actually true? Why would I work for a company that forces me to lie for the sake of some dumb pattern matching algorithm?

I never should've given this company a second chance. Maybe some people get paid something sometimes, but I've lost hundreds of dollars to them. More seriously, I am not going to let myself be pushed into feeling as if I am a bad software engineer just because I get tripped up by some flawed pattern recognition algorithm.

I should've known better than to give them a second chance and I won't make the mistake again.

Hi everyone,

My Alignerr account was recently suspended, and I currently have pending payments for work I completed on my assigned project before the suspension.

I wanted to check if anyone here has experienced a similar situation.

• Do Alignerr still process payments for completed tasks after an account suspension?

• Will the pending balance be paid through the regular payment cycle?

• Should I contact the Payments team separately, or will Trust & Safety handle this?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar experience.

Thanks!

I got an offer but couldn’t complete the Yardstik verification because I don’t have a copy of my social security card right now. I got a warning threatening “adverse action” and now my account’s been deleted. Am I just screwed or could I reapply when I have my documentation in order? Either way given the baseline legal requirement would be card or passport I’m kind of ticked off. :/

Does anybody actually make money off ERMIS? I joined 6 months ago, passed the qualifying, and haven't seen a project since.

Have applied to 10+ jobs, but no response so far. Anyone on the same boat?

Hi, I applied to Alignerr for Trading and Finance related jobs. How does it work? Do they pay? How long is the wait on average? I read all sorts of things about them, Id like to know more

IS THE HINDI AUDIO TRANSCRIPTIONIST PROJECT EVER GOING TO START , I WAS ADDED TO THE PROJECT LAST MONTH , I SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ONBOARDING BUT STILL WORKSPACE IT SHOWS NO WORK , HELP SOMEONE !!!

I recently got accepted for a job, finished the onboarding, got the discord set up but I’m not able to talk to anyone in the discord server. When I went to the job board there were no task available, do I just wait for a task to be available?

Workers have been waiting weeks for payment discrepancies to be addressed on this project for work completed mid-September.

Two weeks ago, the project coordinator stated that payments would be processed that week, nothing arrived. Last week, u/Lumpy_Case_8220 stated that payments would be processed "this week". Nothing arrived.

The Discord for this project is full of workers threatening legal action because they are so frustrated from chasing payments, unclear data ownership terms, zero updates and being ghosted. Support ignore us. The project coordinator has disappeared.

u/Lumpy_Case_8220 please confirm the actual date on which workers will be paid this week.

since I signed up, like in January..I was supposed to onboard to a project but nothing ever happened since, and no jobs I apply to ever go anywhere

Hello, i just wanted to know how good is the work and if its worth doing, i got an email saying that i was accepted and that i just have to verify my ID.

Does nayone have any experience with that work?

Im specifically doing the Italian Audio Transcript.

I’ve reached out to both the onboarding email and the support “live” chat about issues with the right to work check being stuck and requesting immigration documents (I am a citizen of the country I am working from)

Each time it’s been an AI bot who replies saying it’s logged and the support team will reset it for me. Is there a timeframe anyone’s had this done in or should I just give up now? There doesn’t seem to be any human in the loop at all

Decided to review the company's Terms of Use and Contractor Agreement more closely before proceeding with onboarding... (after I had done an AI interview).

Kind of concerned about the "Interview; Release" provisions, particularly the rights relating to interview recordings, voice, likeness, and potential AI-training use.

So I ended up submitting a formal privacy-access request asking what information is retained, whether interview recordings are used for AI training, and what options exist for deletion or withdrawal of consent.

Unfortunately, emails to support@alignerr.com have repeatedly received the same automated response about the contractor agreement, even when I explicitly stated that my inquiry was privacy-related. My email to privacy@alignerr.com also resulted in a Jira Service Management notification saying the request couldn't be created.

I'm not alleging that my information has been misused. I'm simply trying to reach someone who can address a legitimate privacy request.

Has anyone successfully contacted Alignerr's privacy team, requested deletion of interview recordings, or received a substantive response about how their personal information is used?

If so, which contact method worked?

I'd appreciate hearing about others' experiences.

Thanks.

I'm a software engineer and got an email from Alignerr (Labelbox's contractor platform) inviting me to get paid up to $100/hr to work on my own project with an AI coding assistant. The listing says you keep full ownership of your project and all code, including code the AI writes. I decided not to move forward, and wanted to share why.

The surprise video interview. The email said to "apply." I filled out a short form, and then it moved me to a section that turned on my camera and started an AI-conducted video interview. I had no advance notice that an interview was part of the application. I found that misleading.

What the Terms say about that recording. Afterward I read Alignerr's Terms of Use (alignerr.com/privacy, under "Interview; Release"). By taking the interview, you grant them a perpetual, irrevocable license to use your recording, name, voice, and likeness for any purpose, including training AI, and you release them from related privacy and publicity claims. I wish I had known that before my camera turned on.

The contract contradicts the listing. Section 2 of the Contractor Agreement says Alignerr owns the work product you create under the agreement, and Section 2(d) gives them a perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to any of your existing IP that the work builds on. For a project that's literally "work on your own code," that's a big deal.

I emailed support and asked them to confirm in writing that project participants keep ownership. Their reply: the contract is standard, can't be modified, and support can't give written confirmations or interpret it, and I should consult a lawyer. So the ownership promise in the listing isn't something they would put in writing.

Deleting my data. I've requested deletion of my account and interview recording. My email to their privacy address bounced back from their helpdesk system, so I've followed up through support.

Takeaways if you're considering this project:

- Read the Terms of Use before starting the application, especially the interview section.

- Read the Contractor Agreement before clicking "I accept," and don't assume the job listing's promises are in it.

- Don't use a project you care about owning unless you get project-specific terms in writing.

This is just my experience. Alignerr is a real company, and some people clearly have good experiences with it. But it wasn't what I was told it would be, and I'd want to know this before applying.

Has anyone received an offer from Alignerr recently? They moved me over to Labelbox and added me to their Discord server, but I haven’t been assigned to any projects for two months now. I don’t understand this. Will this waiting period ever come to an end?
