Is Turing (AGI / LLM trainer roles) legit?

A large, venture-backed AI-data company that posts many contract roles on its own job board. Its turing.com Trustpilot page has 205 reviews averaging 2.3. Complaints focus on withdrawals held for months, unpaid referral bonuses, failed ID checks and long tests with no offer, though some reviewers report quick payouts.

Does it pay? mixed

What you do

Coders and domain experts (medicine, law, finance, STEM, languages) work as remote contractors on short projects for AI labs. They write and review code tasks, craft prompts and dialogues, and evaluate AI answers against rubrics. Some roles annotate video, for example robot-task clips.

The details

Pay
$15–100/hr
As published: No rate card; many role posts on work.turing.com state no pay. Examples that do: AI Quality Analyst roles say 'Our offered rate for this project is $15 per hour'; Healthcare experts say 'Pay up to $100/hr depending on internal evaluation and location'. The talent page's role cards show unlabeled dollar figures ($150 to $1,000) without saying what they are.

Talent page says 'Remote-first, global' with experts 'from 140+ countries'.
Varies by role. Some roles list specific countries (e.g. a video-annotation role: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, Bangladesh, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico); others say only 'Remote'. Many roles require 4 hours of overlap with US Pacific time.
Paid by
bank transfer (local or SWIFT) · Help center: processed on the 5th calendar day of each month (bank processing 2 to 3 more days). The talent page says 'bi-weekly payouts'; the two statements conflict.

Backers
Series E of $111M at a $2.2B valuation led by Khazanah Nasional, bringing total funding to $225M (Turing press release; TechCrunch dated it March 6, 2025). Its talent page says '$300M+ raised'.

What we couldn’t confirm

What the unlabeled $150 to $1,000 figures on the get-started role cards mean (they may be referral bonuses or per-task rates). Turing's own pages give conflicting payout timing. Whether some projects pay through Deel could not be confirmed, because those help articles redirect to a login. The Series E date comes from TechCrunch's URL (2025-03-06), since Turing's release is undated.
