Strange Culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work, global presence, fantastic software products for translation/localization. Good health benefits.

Cons

Lots of personnel drama, backstabbing, game-playing, finger pointing, internal politics. People are silo'd; collaboration is frowned upon. On the painfully low end of acceptable salaries. Stingy with creature comforts. Have to have a doctor's notice to get an ergonomic keyboard. Old equipment. Stingy work-from-home policy.

Pros

-Met some awesome co-workers (with shared discontent regarding work culture) -Beautiful new office -Clean bathroom

Cons

-Poor upper management, not a lot of inspiration just power hunger -Saw an obscene number of people quit in my time there, strange amount of turn-over from all levels of management. -way too many responsibilities as a sales person -- the worst part being collections, spending all afternoon emailing clients aggressively to pay. **We were expected to fulfill daily outreach requirements, send mailers, emails, phone calls, set meetings, give quotes, make quote packets, consult with production teams, invoice on all sorts of platforms, charge credit cards. Got messy and was confusing. -Schemes and obsessions with helping you "get promoted" within a year to an Account Exec which pay was not much higher and had an extremely low cut in sales % (1-2%) -Account Managers make NO commission -For such a large company, not many outside of office groups or organizations to help the community, support people internally, ONLY drinking related events. -Not allowed to stretch outside of your job description, think outside the box to get clients attention -Never a fully functioning coffee machine

Good starter job

Pros

Able to work remote Young coworkers Teaches basic corporate skills Able to move around in the company (locations, or transfers, or even to different positions) They choose great real estate, their offices are in pretty nice buildings in nice locations.

Cons

Management is subpar Pay is unlivable Work is repetitive and dull Low retention Promotions are silly, you spend 6 months in training as a project coordinator, then you "graduate" to project manager, then next "senior project manager" and etc.a The gag is your responsibilities do not change, you pay increases maybe 5k or less (probably less).
