Terrible place to work

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The dress code is very casual, if you like that. Some very nice and smart people, although none are to be found in the management team

Cons

The worst Dickensian sweatshop environment I've ever seen. Dishonest management, constant broken promises, poor infrastructure and support, penny pinching to the extreme. Owned by private equity squeezing every last fraction of a dollar out of the employees.

Not bad as day-job or as temporary gig, but not for long term

Linguistic tester

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are good things about the company: the job is relatively easy if you have good verbal and basic computer technical skills. Would not be bad as first job out of college. Also friendly colleagues and management. Work expectations are straightforward and there are clear standards of accountability for the most part. Work is somewhat mind-stimulating in the beginning when you are learning materials but that doesn't last. If work is fully remote it is good in that you can be done for the day and not think about it afterwards. Not bad as day job for creative types.

Cons

Main con is lack of career advancement for most testers. Unless you can get a management position, HR, or have an advanced degree in linguistics you are basically in a dead-end job. Pay also not keeping up at all with inflation. Layoffs have been common the past year with the tech downturn. Holidays benefits are also crummy: they literally have employees go on unemployment during weeks of Christmas and Thanksgiving. If the job market is in recession as it was when I took position in 2020 pandemic, it's not the worst thing to take up for short term. But would avoid if job market is strong and you have multiple options.

Pros

Periodic fun employee participation incentives, company parties

Cons

Severe lack of communication, Disengaged Leadership, Poor Ethics, Low Employee Morale. Will terminate for reasons other than misconduct or performance at any time, including days before Christmas, as I was, with absolutely no warning, and over email.
