Pros
- Great colleagues, you get to work with people from all over the world. - Getting hired is pretty easy; as long as you have a university degree (in anything), are not too fussy regarding salary and make a decent impression you're in.
Cons
- No company culture: Friday drinks were rare and would start late because everyone had loads of work to finish first. Other than Friday drinks, no activities were organized by management. - No compensation for over hours. All project managers made loads of extra hours without any compensation or recognition (sometimes staying until midnight or coming in during weekends). - Not to mention that the salary in the first place is just a bit above the legal minimum. Also, raises are rare and excuses will be made up as to why they can't give you one. - Very high staff turnover. In the short time I've worked there the entire group of PMs left and were replaced by a new bunch who are currently all looking for new jobs. - The bonus system is a joke. Always when people complain about low salaries or long hours the bonus system is brought up. The sad reality is that this in no way makes up for the long hours and heavy workload. - You will constantly have to cheat and rip off the freelance translators you're relying on to complete your projects. Due to the ridiculous mark up that is handled by the company the budget left for translators is insultingly low, which often leads to translators dropping out of projects or delivering sloppy work. - Management doesn't seem to care about anything and the division president just seems to try to keep everything afloat until he can retire.
