Pluspunten

At best, Outlier offers interesting work devising prompts to train LLMs. Trainers are given a free hand to make up exercises that train/test the models. Stimulating, challenging and fun.

Minpunten

This company is highly unreliable. Pay rate can be reduced with no notice or explanation. You can get jettisoned from a project with no explanation, and left waiting for reassignment for months at a time. Generally, communications are opaque and suggest a basic hostility/contempt for their workforce, Appears they assume there is an unlimited supply of potential workers who they can treat like garbage. These might seem like strong words, but given the chaotic nature of the work experience, Outlier truly deserves them. Check the Outlier Reddit to learn more about this company's practices.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
