What is the salary like at Appen?

They make it seem like you will get a work from home job part time with decent pay

They are fraudulent. They were supposed to interview me on Microsoft Teams but took ages to respond to a guestion I asked. When I checked into them further I realized that there were many warnings about this place.

No issues of late salary, flexibility of time

Not a lot of work to do sometime n not good support platform

Would recommend working here great culture and good pay

low growth trajectory but assume things have changed

As a social media evaluator employee at Appen, The job is easy because the instructions are clear and complete and the salary is quite satisfying.

Salaries are not paid immediately, you have to wait some time

Hourly rate of pay is better for most projects (especially LLMs) than what I have seen with other companies. Majority of PMs are helpful, direct, and friendly. Guidance is given and easily accessible. The work is interesting and can be fun.

Inconsistency of project availability. Projects have shifted to more short-term lengths and work ebbs and flows. Hundreds of people added to projects so that the roster has to fight for scraps of work, rather than having something steady and consistent. Opportunities for growth within the company are few and far between.

Offered a flexible schedule and decent pay

Being laid off and told a job would replacement would happen

Flexible work hours Social media projects are great Chat

1. I've been with Appen for 7 years and the Support team has always been slow (average 2 months response time) and unknowledgeable. There is clearly no training or concern with the support team to resolve issues. There are ticket ratings, however, the tickets are obviously to appease us as there has not been any improvement with support since I've been with Appen. Also, the support team at Appen will just push a button and reply to your issue with a generic/automated message that has nothing to do with the actual issue. 2. As Evaluator's/rater's, we have no one that we escalate issues to when the Support team takes 2 months to respond, responds with generic automated messages and when they do respond, they inquire if we are still having the "issue" which makes no sense. Why would we not still have the issue? They are aware there is no one for us to escalate to which is the reason they use the tactics they do, 3. The hourly pay is lower than the minimum wage of 48 states. Based on chat, most people are not doing this as a "side gig". It's the only income they have.

Good pay and good work

work can be a little hard

Worked from home, easy tasks, pay was decent

needed more hours, only paid monthly

Work is 100% remote and they send you a laptop-some of the co-workers are amazing

constant rolling layoffs, low pay, no raises, no work life balance since they laid off so many people
