Pros

- The company is in CBD - Flexible lunch hours - Employers are young and funny - Linguists are interesting people and nice to work with

Cons

- Managers in upper management lack basic management skills and translation software skills to do their job -Micromanagement is annoying - some employees in junior posts are smart but their efficiency is greatly hindered by their managers - Double standard - Project managers/coordinators are always wrong, senior managers are always right. - Treat linguists with no respect - maybe monolingual English speaker can never understand how it is like to learn a secondary language, and fail to appreciate any cultures besides American culture - The company encourage competition instead of teamwork

Pros

1 - the office is in a good location 2 -working with the linguists 3 - the potential to live abroad 4 - a lot of young employees

Cons

note - i am not a disgruntled employee - anyone who works at the company would agree that these things are fact. 1 - no matter what it is ALWAYS your fault 2 - you work 70+ hours a week 3 - they will work you into the ground and not care 4 - watching your coworkers be broken and seeing the misery and despair on their faces. 5 - the levels of stress are out of control 6 - complete lack of working relationship between sales and production 7 - sales lack of knowledge on what they are selling is disgusting. 8 - upper management has a "just sell it" mentality regardless of how feasible it is on productions part. and will expect you to get it done and berate you when you don't - regardless of whether or not it was actually possible. 9 - a mentality of burn and churn that is demoralizing 10 - upper management continues to put all responsibility on production managers and there is little accountability for anyone else. 11 - they salaries are barely livable for someone in NYC.

Pros

Young and friendly co-workers. They are hiring.

Cons

Young co-workers nobody else would accept to work there. They are hiring. Constantly because the turnover must be around 90% They despise both their customers and their linguists. What kind of business model is that?
