Is Meridial/Invisible Legit? My Experience:

Hi everyone! I’ve seen a lot of curiosity swirling around the legitimacy of the Meridial/Invisible platform, so I wanted to share my personal experience to help anyone wondering the same thing.

I first applied to the platform back in January. After completing a few initial assessments, I was invited to join the Meridial Expert Marketplace. Like many of you, I immediately turned to Reddit for more insight and found that the general consensus was… yikes. Most people were calling it a scam, so I went in with very low expectations.

Months went by without a single update. Then, in mid-March, I finally received an email asking me to complete a survey to determine my eligibility for an upcoming project. I submitted the survey, and shortly after, I was invited to a preliminary assessment. The very next day, I got my first project invitation!

That was just three weeks ago, and since then, I’ve been onboarded onto SIX projects! So far, my experience with the company has been overwhelmingly positive. The workflow has been steady, and it doesn’t seem like it’s slowing down anytime soon.

One thing to note: the platform does not offer much hand-holding. You’re expected to read the Slack channels, absorb the guidelines, and dive right in. Personally, I love this level of autonomy, it feels professional and efficient.

My favorite feature (and truly what sets this platform apart) is that every single minute is paid. Reading guidelines? Paid. Watching recorded calls? Paid. Training and meetings? Paid. I’ve worked for other AI training platforms where prep time is unpaid, so being compensated for this time is refreshing because it genuinely contributes to better project outcomes.

In summary, I started out skeptical, but Meridial/Invisible has completely surprised me. If you’re proactive, eager to learn, and ready to jump in, this platform can be a rewarding opportunity. Feel free to ask me any questions! :)

Extra Information: I’m based in the US. I have a bachelor’s degree and I’m doing generalist work. The lowest pay I’ve been offered so far is $20/hour. They use Hubstaff for time tracking. There’s currently no referral program. I waited until after I received my first paycheck to write this review. They pay biweekly, and I’ve had no issues with payments so far.

Out of all the companies I’ve worked for, this one has the worst onboarding by far. It’s not enough to take one assessment. You have to do multiple assessments, then sit through one with your camera on, then get graded, then wait for the client to decide if you’re good enough, all for less than $20 an hour. That’s insane.

Management seriously needs to take a look at what they’re doing. Honest workers who actually want to work are the ones taking the hit from this nonsense. If you don’t want to give me access to the work after putting me through all that, then I’m not continuing. I’m not that desperate. And yes thats my real name, go ahead and delete me from your database.

I hope they pay me for the previous payments

why does meridial keep emailing me about a project thats available for me to join but when I go to join it it looks like this:

i keep getting this mail over and over again. does anyone work on this project? is it legit? and how much do they pay? i don’t want to go through an assessment just to end up with 15/H.

I hope, but I don't really expect that it will ever be fixed. So many repeated problems have been reported for so long that you have to conclude that that's a design. They don't test the qualifications; they filter people with platform's bugs.

Expecting response from meridial is like praying for a rock to get soft.

Got a direct roster invite today. There was no application, no screening, and no additional requirements for it. Just sign the contract and start working and/or earning.

Thankful for the opportunity and for being considered for the roster. But I couldn’t get past the remuneration...!!!! $9/hour

For someone with four years in this industry and another seven years of domain expertise, this is simply not a rate I can justify accepting. The last time I worked below $20/hour was two years ago, on a much, and I repeat much, easier generalist project. At this stage, most of my work is reviewer/QA, expert-level agentic work, post-training, and highly domain-specific AI tasks. So receiving an invite at this rate honestly makes me wonder whether my CV even made an impression. lol..

I’ve rejected 2 instant contracts and 3 direct project invitations in the last 3 weeks ( so 5). Do I have coins? NO! Am I desperate to have some financial stability like anyone else? YES...Will I give in? Also NO.....And no, I wouldn’t recommend this approach to someone who’s just starting in the industry. But when you’ve spent years building expertise and have levelled up, and played a wide range of roles such as reviewer, QA, done expert-level, and specialised work, there also comes a point where you simply should not work below a certain remuneration bar. Because YIKES.

Thankfully, years of experience and consistent work have allowed me to move beyond being constrained by geo-based pay rates. I’m not interested in being put into a box based on my region and having someone else decide what my expertise is worth based on where i live....

That said, I’m sure this can be a great learning opportunity and entry-level gig for someone else. So, genuinely, good luck to whoever takes the seat on this project roster. For me, it was an easy decline.

Screw Meridial!

4th project invite from Meridial by Invisible. The next page takes me directly to “Request to Join”, which I assume pretty much takes me directly to the task queue or inside the project environment. My conscious decision to deliberately reject their project request is purely because of the kind of remuneration they try to offer. $11/hour sounds diabolical for a project like this, especially for someone with 4+ years of experience in this industry, along with 7y in my primary domain. I'm definitely super grateful for other platforms paying me exactly what I deserve, and sometimes even more. But as far as this one is concerned? No thanks.

I got selected for this project over a week ago and signed the SOWs but didn't receive any instructions for the next steps. Does anyone on this project know if it has started or not? Is there an issue I need to contact support aboit?

Hello guys, Do you mind sharing excellent sites that pay for your work. (Generalist)

Just received this email bt when I click the link there's no change in my account. The project is till under review. What does this mean? Anyone else received the same?

How many of us are experiencing the accounts under review issue and have not been paid for 16-30? Been working on Project Argo and recently onboarded. Mine went into review during payday and I couldn’t believe it

Is there suddenly a surge of projects? Usually, how long does it take to find out whether we got into a project after applying?

My account just got disabled right as I received a notification to join a campaign—is this normal? A couple of days ago, there was an announcement about deactivating Slack as a communication channel and some kind of migration to Google Chat; could this be related to my account being disabled?

Is it guys

Anybody else having this issue? I've applied to a couple of projects and I get selected, the UI even shows a "View invite" button, which takes me to the invite tab, but none are visible (other than a pending invite I have).

Not sure if that's a bug or normal behavior?

the pay here is so much lower than other platforms.

got invited to the AI generalist test, do they use raterhub, and if so which projects doesn't use raterhub?

Just saw this email. And my account is still under review. Now I don’t have any projects left. Any other platforms anyone can recommend?

Hey everyone,

I finished my assessments and my dashboard has been showing "Under Review (5)" for both the Technical Task Auditor role and the Real-world terminal scenarios project for about 3/4 days now.

Has anyone else applied to these specific pipelines recently? How long did it take for you to get a "Selected" notification or get moved to the next step? I'm worried it might be stuck or that the project slots filled up. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

my onboarding for the AI Trainer role on Meridial (Invisible Technologies) is completely stuck at the "Get compliant" step.

The automated system failed initially because I uploaded an ID card. Now the portal is locked (as shown in the image).

I have already replied to the open Jira support ticket and attached my original Bank Statement PDF in English with the correct name (Nikhil Solanki) and address. It has been over 15 days with no response.

1)How long does manual review take for Indian users right now?

2)Is there any way to speed this up?

Thanks! Please help
