Is TSMG legit?
Mostly. TSMG is a registered Warsaw company led by its founder, Taras Kopot, and says it has run paid driving and data projects since 2017. But its AV and robotics postings rarely state pay or name the client you would work for. You usually learn the rate, the client and your contract type only after applying. Work runs as fixed-length projects, and some deals are contractor agreements where you pay your own taxes and insurance.

What people praise
- A field data collector in Dorsten, Germany (Glassdoor, August 2024) praised the flexible schedule, the chance of extra hours, good pay and a well-kept car and kit.
- The Madrid AV test driver roles come with an employment contract and a paid 4-week training course in the US, with travel and accommodation covered.
- US mapping drivers carry no vehicle costs: TSMG provides the car and pays for fuel, and productive drivers can earn performance bonuses.
What people complain about
- On October 11, 2026, only 9 of the roughly 1,000 AV and robotics postings on TSMG's Lever board showed a pay range, all in Madrid. Its New York safety driver posting names no rate and no client.
- The only Indeed review (a data collector, August 2025) says there was no real training, so you learn as you go, and that supervisors can be hard on staff without doing the field work themselves.
- Glassdoor's lowest review, a 1-star from July 2021 headlined 'Fraudsters', says the company cheated; the details sit behind a sign-in wall. Most of its 28 reviews are positive.
- The Japan driving job was an independent contractor agreement, not employment: you cover your own taxes and personal insurance, and a 30-day notice period applies.
Best for: Licensed drivers with a clean record (safety driver roles want 5 years of driving, not AV experience) and people fine with repetitive hands-on robot or camera tasks who can commit to an on-site project. Not for: Anyone who needs the hourly rate and the client's name before applying, wants a permanent job with steady hours, or cannot pass background, driving record and drug checks.
Honest catches
- Pay here is stated by the employer, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.
