""In some ways, Scale lost the focus on product, on scaling quality," Foody said. "And that was one of the largest challenges of the business.""
""There must be something Brendan admires about Scale if he keeps mentioning us to get publicity. Our data quality metrics are at record highs and we remain focused on leading the market.""
""having phenomenal people that you treat incredibly well.""
Mercor's CEO Brendan Foody criticized Scale for losing focus on product quality while praising Alexandr Wang's strengths in distribution and sales. Mercor emphasizes quality and higher contractor compensation, reporting an average pay rate of $95 per hour versus roughly $30 per hour at rivals such as Scale and Surge. Mercor's website lists STEM expert pay at $90–$110 and generalist pay near $45; Scale lists STEM experts at $30–$50 and generalists at $15–$30. Scale has faced security concerns and saw layoffs after a large investment from Meta, and Scale defended its data quality metrics as at record highs.
