Pros

The bond among the people who work there becomes incredibly strong, all generated by the will to leave it.

Cons

- The salary is very poor and will not increase at all even if your responsibilities increase. - Management is absent. They arrive always late and leave early, taking hours-long breaks (to go to the gym, or so they say). - There is a constant promise of expansion of the company which never happens, because of the MD's incompetence. - The MD's dog is at the office all day long, even when its owner is not there. Not only is that a hazard as the dog runs around and more than once it has almost knocked someone over, it can also be a problem with clients, visitors or employees who may be allergic or afraid of dogs. - There is no will to listen to employees' needs, even when directly asked for their feedback. - The only toilet available is constantly broken. - The turnaround of people is incredibly fast and always, always impacts the well being of the company. - There is no solid long term plan to build a strong company.

Thank you for your feedback. I like that the team is able to take on responsibility and work independently. It’s unclear, however, if you were working independently or being micromanaged. To avoid this in the future, we have put enhanced employee training and documentation materials in place. The pay and holiday allowance is standard for the UK within the industry and legal standards. Furthermore, employees are rewarded with an additional day per year of service with the business (up to 25 days, excluding bank holidays) and most members of staff receive pay rises following the successful completion of their probation. In fact, it’s not unusual to receive several pay rises in a year based on performance. We’re proud to give opportunities to inexperienced graduates looking to enter the localisation industry. During business hours, a manager is always on site with the team. If a manager was off-site at an inappropriate time, this should have been flagged to the CEO/owner. It is true that the toilet was out of order due to circumstances beyond our control. However, it was promptly fixed. GoLocalise is a dog-friendly office and has been since its founding. We love Rambo! You weren’t privy to company planning decisions. This may have led to your fundamental misunderstanding of how a business is run. Thanks again for your review. GoLocalise is always working to improve the employee, client and supplier experience. Your feedback will help in this endeavour.

Pros

Lovely team. They really helped me grow as a professional and as a person. Very encouraging and supportive. Couldn’t have asked for a better team. Rambo the office dog is the loveliest.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons. Maybe the travel back and forth to the office in rush hour in a packed tube.
