Dialectica is worth your time

Dialectica was very upfront and straightforward about what they were looking for when they called. The terms were clear, and they got me on a phone call quickly. They were respectful of my time and expertise- the call only lasted as long as they had stated and I was paid immediately.

I had an excellent experience participating in an online survey as a subject matter expert with Dialectica.

The process was smooth and well organized, and I would like to especially appreciate Juan Camilo Gomez for his outstanding support. His patience and continuous follow-ups made it much easier to understand the survey content. A well-deserved 10/10.

Thank you to the Dialectica team for a very positive experience.

This is a scam

This is a scam. They have no ethics, they are more focused on securing fast agreements than on ethical, transparent, or respectful business practices. I’d advise serious caution before engaging with them. They dont pay you, they scam you they take all your info and make you talk to clients and wont bother to pay later.
