Our Culture

A values-centric culture is vital to our mission to help build better AI
by creating large volumes of high-quality training data faster.

Performance

Performance is having the focus and agility to achieve quality outcomes and exceed expectations. You never stop learning, and challenge yourself every day, while maintaining a healthy perspective and balance.

Honesty

Honesty is being a truth-teller in a respectful way; taking accountability for your actions; and communicating with integrity with each other, our customers, our crowd and ourselves.

Humility

Humility is being part of a team, giving credit and showing gratitude to others for their contributions, seeking diverse perspectives, and, not being afraid to ask for help when you don’t know something.

Grit

Grit is about taking ownership, not giving up, finding creative solutions, and, having the courage to succeed. Grit and resilience give you the confidence and determination to achieve your goals.

The AI industry depends on the people who collect and label the data. They help make machine learning-empowered solutions possible and we are formalizing our commitment to their well-being. We believe that our customers should know that their partners stand for the ethical treatment of contractors.
