Pros

Company is doing top-notch technology in localization industry; training team and project management team is good enough to provide lots of support to new hires; summer Fridays are offered with flexible paid/non-paid days off as long as you can figured your coverage out; employees are nice; cross-functional teams are supportive; work are challenging and projects are fun

Cons

Senior management is not listening to the middle management/entry level teams and act like they know everything of what is going on; typical agency culture where what matters the most is cutting corners, pressing vendors and being cheap; systems are old but not updating fast enough with the cutting-edge technology; Sales are being praised but who did the most job: project managers and engineers are greatly devalued.

Pros

I learnt a lot - mainly about how to stick up for myself in the face of manipulative and incompetent management. I also met a lot of great people there and we bonded over our mutual hatred and suffering.

Cons

Terrible opportunities for growth; extremely high turnover means no one ever knows what they are doing; bad relationships between different departments; dishonest management; no respect for the workers rights or the employees

Pros

- 5 o'clock Friday happy hour

Cons

- The hours are 24/7. You are expected to be on email at all times of the day and night, without any compensation for your time (including weekends). The in office hours are M-F 8:30-6 (but expected to be there earlier and stay later). - Co-workers hook up/sleep with each other, making it a disgusting work environment - It is frowned upon to take time off for vacation/personal/sick days. - You are given the legal minimum holidays off. Every day you are expected to work. - If you do not share the same views as the company you are treated unfairly - The pay is the absolute minimum, with no compensation for the hard work you will be forced to put in - You will be tricked during the interview that there is so much potential to grow. Do not believe it. - An all around disgraceful company that I would never recommend for anyone to work for.
