Great experience - Senior CopyWriter Translation Employee Review

Talented people, smart strategy, desire to win as a team.

High expectations. Can burn you out a bit. But it was worth it.

Translation and UnitedMasters have a good mission.

I’m not sure why the CAO department leads through the hierarchy it does. As a full-time contractor, I was denied my full pay even though my rate was clearly understood by everyone involved, from Legal to the CEO. They could have, and should have, paid me in full. It was in writing. Instead, after multiple communications, I was only finally paid months later. What made the situation more concerning was the disconnect between the company’s stated mission and how this department operated in practice. This industry depends on creatives and business-minded people to lead, yet the department seemed to uphold a hierarchy that protected the people who don't like the CEO and vocalize it...instead of supporting the people doing the work, making an impact and increasing revenue for the business. The POV of the CAO department is concerning while blinding the CEO. That is why the notes you read on this platform are accurate. It does not make sense to join a team that speaks about ambition and progress, only to find that internally, the structure reinforces unclear accountability and inconsistent decision-making. I would encourage others to be mindful. There may be good opportunities here, but in my experience, the leadership, expectations, and hierarchy were unclear.
