Pros

Hard to find some... Ah yes, some really nice coworkers Interesting content to work with

Cons

(New) Unrealistic targets for production teams, project managers overworked all the time, it's disgraceful. Micromanagement is hot here and you need to send a very neat End of Day spreadsheet. Managers should look up the word 'manager' in the dictionary and not roll their eyes when an employee has questions regarding their furlough on Webex. It's basic rude and unprofessional. Team Leads should look up the words 'lead', 'people skills' and 'engage'. I mean, why are you doing what you're doing? Who promoted you? Have I mentioned the ridiculously low pay? No raises and bonuses are frozen Furloughing across the Production team means that both old and new GOOD talent won't stick around and are probably lost forever. Well done! Toxic and manipulative company culture that makes me really sorry for not having taken these reviews seriously when I applied to work here. They're great at hiring the worst external linguists, it really is something remarkable! This is easily explained by the extremely low rates they're offered combined with the lack of knowledge on specific terminology. Hypocrite and fake environment using Skype emojis - oh puh-lease.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
