Flexible part-time work but hard to find projects - Contractor Outlier AI Employee Review

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.

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.

None the account got banned from the start

You can get banned with no warning or notice right off the bat. I just got approved for a project and then my dashboard went blank. Thought it was a bug so I waited a few days still blank. Asked the help ai (no real help desk) and found out I somehow used ai or copy pasted (which I did neither) in tasks that I had never got the chance to do. "Audit" was done twice manually so no way to appeal. What this means I a signed up put in my SSN and PII just to get banned from all project due to some random audit I was never told started or finished. No point in staying on a platform that I cannot use due to "no appeal allowed" now all I can do is hope they actually delete my info with the account and don't just sell it for quick cash.
