Pros
Ability to work from home
Kontras
This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. The pay is laughable for the talent and work expected from employees and there is no consistency in pay between equal level employees, causing multiple people to question whether discrimination is a factor. There is no transparency in pay scales or levels, which increases the ease at which the company can undercut employees. There is a massive gaslighting nature at the company, competant and hard-working employees will be routinely berated in order that they do not see their value and remain being overworked and over stressed. This tactic is also used to keep people on a stagnant salary that does not even keep up (nowhere near) with inflationary increases. The gaslighting is by far the worst thing about working at this company, however, that in itself could be an entire review, so I will move on. Every single colleague I have had whilst working at the company has opened up at some point about the negative impact the company and management style has on their mental health, myself included, and it was sad to see talented people so disheartened. The micromanagement here is ridiculous. Linguists are constantly held up against KPIs and every task undertaken is logged against time, words per hour etc. It well reflects the companies attitude towards staff - lack in trust in our abilities and self motivation, faceless resouces to be exhausted for maximum profit margins. Overtime is not compensated and regularly necessary. Overall mentality and spirit is low on account of poor working conditions. I would not recommend this employment to anyone. If there is any other way to break into the language industry, try that first!
