Pros

- The company is in CBD - Flexible lunch hours - Employers are young and funny - Linguists are interesting people and nice to work with

Cons

- Managers in upper management lack basic management skills and translation software skills to do their job -Micromanagement is annoying - some employees in junior posts are smart but their efficiency is greatly hindered by their managers - Double standard - Project managers/coordinators are always wrong, senior managers are always right. - Treat linguists with no respect - maybe monolingual English speaker can never understand how it is like to learn a secondary language, and fail to appreciate any cultures besides American culture - The company encourage competition instead of teamwork

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
