Turing.com Avis 

Do not lose your time and money with Turing. The fake 5-star reviews on this platform are clearly written by their own staff or people who haven't experienced the reality of their chaotic management.I passed all the technical assessments and onboarding steps back in May. Immediately after, Turing locked my profile status as "assigned to a client." It is now July—nearly two months later—and I have received absolutely NEWS, zero live data, and zero tasks.Here is the real scam behind their system: once they assign you to a client, their primitive platform completely blocks your ability to apply for any other available jobs. You cannot click "Apply," you cannot look for other projects, and you are left completely stranded. They are holding developers hostage on "the bench" for months just to show their corporate clients that they have a ready workforce on standby.The communication is a total nightmare. Project Managers (like Pavithra) send automated mass emails promising that work will start "next Tuesday or Wednesday," only to ghost everyone for weeks. They explicitly tell you not to contact anyone on Slack, while they actively freeze your account and take away your right to earn a living. Support tickets are completely ignored or answered with generic, copy-pasted templates after a month [Trustpilot Result].Turing treats global talent like numbers in an Excel sheet. They have zero professional ethics and zero respect for people's time. If a project has no data and is delayed indefinitely, release our profiles! Do not block our accounts and force us to wait for months for free.Avoid this platform at all costs if you actually need to work and pay your bills. Absolute disgrace!

This is purely SCAM! Take care with this, don’t believe them. I’ve lost two weeks of my time passing lots of tests and training and after all, they payed me nothing. They only want your google data. Be aware of them. They are reliable but they are not.

This agency is way below any serious company! They just send out emails (only with "noreply" addresses), stating that a client is interested in my services and i should make an additional audition. After visiting the site, i realize that the respective application was already archived in my account and could not be continued anymore! That seems like a complete joke! Just stay away from those pranksters!

If you post a negative comment or review about Turing, they delete your account.

Horrible experience, the worst AI platform I've ever worked with. Absolute disorganization and communication from the Pod leaders is terrible. They cannot choose the right people as project leaders because they aren't capable of doing their job.

I was able to find a couple of well-paying Business Analyst and AI Data Annotation projects on Turing. I was able to work remotely on these projects, and flexible hours as per my availability.

It pays quite well and I like the fact that I contributed in building AI tools. From hiring to payout, the process was quick.

Turing has provided a strong learning experience and has lot of exciting AI projects. The ability to work remotely with flexible hours have been game changer.

Nice place to work. Remote work, flexible working hours, good work environment and decent pay.

I am not sure there is worst Ai training company. from the exploitative rates to a disorganized onboarding

I have been shortlisted for many a jobs, then contacted for interview but never followed up for interview date, time etc.

My friend has onboarded on the same project which was contacted by another staff while me who was contacted by another staff on 15th May, is still sending emails for follow ups and the staff is MOA.

Promised me work and a signing bonus, and after I signed they then terminated the contract without notice and didn't pay what they had promised.

I was prompted multiple times to submit my Turing application - both on Linkedin and email. Also, I was offered 500$ to finish the process. Needless to say, I did not receive the incentive.

Since submitting the application, I have not heard back from them for several weeks (despite the follow up message). Looks like a data collection scam rather than a genuine remote work platform.

Two months ago, I took Turing's Data Science aptitude test. Today, I took the SQL assessment. I was hoping the system would have improved based on feedback — but it was the same chaotic mess. If anyone actually passes this exam, they deserve a medal.
Why can't you build a test environment like StrataScratch? Their interface is simple and effective: questions on the left with table schemas clearly displayed (column names fully visible), a large code editor, a results panel below, a "Check Solution" button to test your output in real time, and an SQL dialect selector — all running seamlessly in the background. The user doesn't install anything, doesn't configure anything, just writes SQL.
What Turing gave me instead: I spent 20 out of 60 minutes just setting up my environment — searching for database credentials, installing the MySQL package, figuring out how to connect to the database within the workspace, and hunting through 50–60 files trying to find where the table information was hidden. This is not a test of SQL — it's an obstacle course.
The editor panels are tiny.
The questions themselves are unreasonable for the time given. Six questions in 60 minutes, including a recursive CTE — with a significant chunk of that time lost to environment setup. I challenge Turing to actually test whether these questions are completable in 60 minutes, even in a proper environment like StrataScratch. They barely would be.
Basic UX features are still missing: no option to hide the countdown timer, no language translation for questions. For a company that markets itself as an AI-powered platform, this is embarrassing.
Turing doesn't assess your SQL ability. Platforms like Mercor and Alignerr offer a far more reasonable experience. It's hard to believe that Turing, which calls itself an AI company, is actually capable of matching qualified candidates with employers when it can't even build a functional test environment.

Awful IDE for coding challenge. Doesnt' allow logs and only let you test once every 45 seconds. This doesn't reflect real world coding.

Went through a lengthy applicaton process, video recording while completing the assessment. All of that for them to offer $6 p/h as a senior business analyst! What an absolute waste of time.

I completed two months of work with Turing, but when my Deel account was blocked, my payment got stuck. Deel clearly told me that Turing just needs to request a refund so the funds can be released.

Even after sharing all the details and ticket numbers, Turing has taken weeks with no real progress or clear updates. My payment is still stuck, and I’m left waiting with no timeline or solution.

Overall, this has been a very disappointing and frustrating experience. I delivered my work, but getting paid has become a painful process.

I had never heard of Turing until they contacted me on LinkedIn for a freelance job interview. They said it was to help train Gemini by creating extremely advanced math questions called HLE (Human’s Last Exam). During a 30-minute interview I was asked to prepare three of these questions as a trial. Later I saw that dozens, maybe hundreds, of similar “job offers” were posted worldwide, which makes me think they collected a huge number of questions for free. I spent about three hours preparing my trial, received constant reminder emails, and was promised great pay rates (over 100 dollars per hour). After I sent my work, the HR people disappeared and never replied again. Don’t waste your time with Turing unless you are clearly told your trial will be paid.

Mi hanno offerto un lavoro, riempito di messaggi e all'ultimo mi hanno detto che il cliente non era più interessato.

Schifo di azienda, se gli servi ti riempiono di messaggi, non appena trovano un rimpiazzo fanno ghosting e ti metto in "short list".
Non iscrivetevi in questa piattaforma truffaldina

This site is really bad! You never feel to be treated like a human being. All application steps are automated without any personal support. If you want to raise questions or send an email, you never receive any response! It is also impossible to change the rates in the application form. Complete fail!

There are many challenging projects. The main issue is the frequent project changes, which sometimes lead to a lack of clarity on what needs to be done when a new project begins.
