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.

O trabalho remoto na Turing é simplesmente sensacional. A liberdade de trabalhar em qualquer lugar no Brasil e ate fora do país nos da a oportunidade de misturar trabalho com diversão e qualidade de vida! Como um balanço perfeito entre trabalho e qualidade de vida eu definitivamente recomendo a Turing!

My experience with Turing has been really great.
The company showed respect and followed the contracts.

I enjoy great autonomy and valuable benefits working with Turing, along with competitive compensation aligned with local standards. I collaborate with an amazing team that thrives on a spirit of cooperation, while being immersed in a fast-paced environment that is constantly evolving and adapting to market trends. My work feels truly impactful, as I contribute to building technologies that will shape the future.

Turing offers developers a truly rewarding career experience:

Access to long-term, full-time roles with top U.S. companies

Skill-aligned job matching through advanced vetting processes

A supportive ecosystem of mentors, learning resources, and career growth opportunities

It’s not just another gig platform — it’s a place to build a career.

Overall, my experience at the company has been very positive. The compensation and benefits package is competitive, and the company is committed to supporting its employees. Also, the work done here drives the AI into the world, with exciting opportunities in this field.

The work environment can be dynamic with different projects and tasks, but this also provides a consistent flow of new opportunities.

Great experience working with Turing!

I am really grateful to have joined Turing. From the very beginning, the onboarding experience was smooth and well-organized, and I immediately felt supported by everyone I interacted with. The work culture here is collaborative, inclusive, and genuinely focused on professional growth. What stands out is how approachable and helpful the teams are, no question feels too small. I feel lucky to be part of a company that truly values its people and is committed to building something meaningful.

Great people and really interesting projects to be part of. The company is growing so fast, very exciting to be a part of!

The supportive, encouraging and collaborative organisation culture

I’ve been working full-time at Turing for the past 1.5 years, and it’s been such a fulfilling experience so far. One of the things I value most is the healthy work-life balance the company encourages.

Turing has also given me countless opportunities to grow in the direction I’ve wanted, aligned closely with my interests and career goals. It never feels stagnant here; there’s always new things to learn, meaningful challenges to solve, and amazing people to work alongside.

The team culture is incredibly supportive, and I’ve had the chance to collaborate with some of the most talented and kind colleagues I’ve met in my career.
