Pros
Decent training on different tools and processes.
Kontras
Consistently low and stagnant pay, coupled with delays in pay reviews and promotions. Many talented translators are earning only the minimum wage or slightly above, a disparity that undermines their motivation and overall satisfaction. Many have left, with all of them earning more money working on a freelance basis or in non-translation roles. The general culture is about fostering an environment that undermines employees' efforts. Instances where simple oversights, such as an unsaved email, can significantly delay promotions by months or years. The company's recent mergers and acquisitions have resulted in significant inefficiencies due to duplicated processes and tools. There appears to be a disconnect between management and the day-to-day contributions of employees. Employees' efforts and contributions are overlooked and undervalued, breeding a sense of disengagement.
