Pros

Opportunity to work with great, hardworking, knowledgeable colleagues.

Cons

Frequent layoffs, lack of transparency, replacing knowledgeable hardworking employees with inexperience cheap labor from developing countries. CEO posts videos, managers sends emails complaining about company’s finances which their excuses for no salary increase and bonuses, etc., while market analysis shows otherwise. Managers hires their friends who has no prior experiences in the field. HR department is hard to reach. IT department is extremely slow. Other than working with great employees until one of us gets layoff, nothing exciting to work in language department in this company.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
