Pros

- Due to extreme volume of work you will learn a lot very fast and will have to learn to handle certain responsibility and you will master your multitasking skills - Fairly easy to get a job right out of uni - Amazing colleagues from many different backgrounds - Nice office in a good location - After this job, every other job you will ever do will be easy, it really can not get much worse that this

Cons

This company will try to squeeze the most they can out of you. Salaries are incredibly low, promised bonuses are a joke (that will make you cry) and there are literally no benefits whatsoever. - Ridiculous amount of unpaid overtime (people often staying in office until 11pm and coming before 8am in order to be able to manage the workload). Over time is required and unappreciated. No respect for personal time. - Lots of stress and constant pressure from Sales, they treat you like you are trash and once you make a slightest mistake they will make sure to make you feel terrible and escalate you - You are required to negotiate the prices that company agreed with linguists to be fixed due to limited budgets - quantity over quality in everything - The was company treats its employees- you are just an asset and do not matter at all - extremely high employee turn over

Pros

Great colleagues! Interesting industry to work in Empowerment to work independently Learning curve is steep Travel opportunities Not much micromanaging

Cons

Title says it all! CEO sends out regular emails raving about record breaking revenues, extraordinary financial growth! BUT only a tiny portion of it goes to the employees (very pyramid like structure where the management earns the bulk of money whilst the rest of us are at the bottom pulling long hours) Benefits are practically non existent.. mediocre insurance coverage. Ineffective HR, Ops and Marcoms who couldn’t care less about welfare, instead, focusing on costs as priority. It’s a joke how little this company spend on their employees (except the fancy sales conferences which they spend a bomb on). Needless to say, millions of dollars were spent on an embarrassingly immature legal battle. If those millions were distributed to the few thousand employees, it would have been a much better investment. Company prides itself as an industry leader with great technological solutions but it’s truly operating in an old fashioned manner.
