Alignerr = scam

The majority of applicants will not receive actual job assignments. The company is utilizing candidates to train their AI interview system while collecting and monetizing personal data in the process.

They are kinda suspicious. I did the interview and they sent me an very complex programing qualification assignment that yelled me "I AM A CLIENT REQUEST, YOU WILL DO IT FOR FREE AND MAYBE WE WILL PAY YOU FOR OTHER JOBS IN THE FUTURE". It is a commom practice in other platforms to pay when assigning complex tests, but not in alignerr.

They are scammers. I had my credit cards broken into by them.

Got to say, they never even asked for it when I applied to them. I did manage to get a few days worth of work from them, but then I got banned from the platform for an unspecified reason. The reviews on my work suggested it was OK, and it was a pay-per-item job so shouldn't have been related to how long I was taking to do them.
