Pros

Flexible timelines - working at your own pace allowed for a higher quality output. Customer service - initial set-up was made easy with the quick assistance of their AI Mervin Freedom to learn at your own pace

Cons

Ending contracts. Sometimes your field may not be required for a short period (halting your payment schedule) before they re-opened more tasks. Limited management ( not appropriate for those who require assisted guidance)

Pros

My pre-hire research found Mercor rated as an "above average to very good" AI-modeling platform, which is in line with Glassdoor's 4.0 employee rating. Based on my experience at Mercor, its employee rating is inflated, and the AI-modeling platform industry is in dire need of improvement if Mercor's industry is above average. Here are my pros: - Being paid for time spent on training. - Pay for Generalists is among the industry's highest. - Working remotely and on your schedule.

Cons

Communication at Mercor is horrible. For example, most of the emails I receive in my Mercor email account are coworkers who have no idea what to do next or who to ask to find out. Prompting emails from our Project Lead that instruct us to disregard said emails. Here are a few more cons: - Blaming everything on our clients. - Communication's ineffective and inefficient. - Disorganization. - Fear of being offboarded suddenly and without explanation. - Lack of employee rapport. - Not being valued. - Projects don't last long. And you may wait weeks for the next one.
