A waste of time A waste of time. Spent 4 hours on a project called "Anthurium" and used a high-end recording device for the task. Fast forward 4 weeks, some Indian call-center guy messages me today, telling me my submissions were rejected and that I'm not going to receive any payment. LOL Should've known better.

Awful First Time Experience I recently tried to apply for a Ads Quality Rater job through Appen and had trouble accessing my application after signing up. When I tried to complete other tasks, I was told to remove my VPN which I don't have installed on my computer. I then tried to contact customer support for help, yet today I was given a "Access Denied" message and can no longer access my dashboard, but I continue to see email updates. I do not recommend signing up to this company, find work elsewhere.

Will terminate you with no warning or… Will terminate you with no warning or reason. I worked for them for almost 4 years and ended up with a couple of good projects that were consistent. My project managers had told me I was doing a good job over the years, so I was shocked and hurt when I was suddenly terminated. They would not give a reason. The company seems not care about the lives they destroy by not giving any kind of notice or warnings when they terminate you. I was loyal and committed and felt I deserved better. I would not recommend them for this reason.

Appen is just rubbish. Appen is just rubbish. Trying to log in when you are told that you have "jobs" to do. Told you are on the "client" side. try to log in on the "contributor" side. Changed password. Sent to a page where you have to put in your phone number for an SMS code. Put in that code and it STILL WILL NOT LET YOU IN FFS!!!!!!! Then you go back having saved your email and password for the upteenth time and it says "your email and password combo are invalid" Make up your mind Appen. I either have tasks to complete and your let me in or your delete my account!!!!!! What a crock of s***t UPDATE: These people contacted me and asked for screenshots of the issues. Sent these. Still nothing. Still can't log in!

Slavery in the 21st century. Slavery in the 21st century. Yes, slavery has not yet been abolished. If you like your intelligence to be systematically abused and getting ridiculous paid (or may not cos you will never know till the end of the month) after long working hours, then work for Appen. They are the masters of making you feel like a useless piece of object!!!
