Pros

Very limited but a good place to get your foot in the door to gain industry experience.

Cons

In the past this was a really nice company to work for, but since the acquisition a few years ago, the company has gone significantly downhill. Rather than focus on looking after their staff, they are trying to grow too quickly taking on huge new clients without the proper resources in place internally or externally, creating an incredibly stressful work environment. This is topped off by a low uncompetitive salary in London that nobody should be expected to survive on. There is a high turnover of staff and new starters often leave very quickly when people are eventually replaced as the place is chaos. The pace of work expected is unsustainable and the workload is extreme. Most staff are completely burnt out yet made to feel like they're not working hard enough. If you value your mental health, I would strongly reassess working here.

Cons

-Small office space, but the team is also small, so it works -Managing time zones can be challenging but that's the nature of the business and everyone is very considerate when scheduling calls or managing cross over time in general -Fast pace but that's the nature of the localization industry as well

Pros

Your teammates are sometimes supportive.

Cons

Zero training or shadowing other than "read all this documentation". Management cannot communicate whatsoever and hold frequent meetings to "brainstorm" which effectively accomplishes nothing and contradict themselves constantly. I hope you absolutely love filling in endless cross-checking trackers and/or fields inside and outside of arhaic software that will make you work long grueling hours where still nothing is ever right cross-functionally. Your teammates and immediate managers will not fight with or for you because they are inexperienced and frightened. OT is paid as time in lieu. You don't have sick days and they're lumped in with your vacation. Expected to tell them when you're taking breaks i.e. "I'm going to the doctor" then you have to make up that time. The healthcare and benefits coverage is below sub-par. Expected to reinvent the wheel for upper management who don't know how to run a company whatsoever.
