-Financial accountability/transparency is concerning. Partially due to COVID, pay structure was changed after promotions were given and a quarterly back payment program was implemented to supplement the difference between what was initially promised to promoted employees and the new structure. This was not recognized by HR as a salary increase (although it was implemented to directly supplement salary), getting any amounts in writing was nearly impossible (only verbal or video call confirmation), and your manager is responsible for remembering to get it to you on time.
-Adding to the above, it feels like the same tactics we are taught to use to underpay linguists are used for employees.
-I’ve learned about changes in overtime pay through Glassdoor rather than the company.
-No/low quality company issued technology
-Workload can be very high for months on end with no relief or plan for relief in place
-Burnout is frequent
-Not much room or time for growth outside of management or PMing
-Turnover is high so it can be difficult
to stabilize workload when a team is mostly new hires in training
