Pros

The company as a whole will expose you to the world of localization and new technologies and equip you with great tools to understand the industry.

Cons

Terrible pay. They hire fresh grads and control, micro-manage them and do not work on their professional development. Their diversity and inclusion efforts are NULL. My department specifically had no cultural understanding nor appreciation, there was a lot of micro-management from my direct manager, nobody spoke a second language in the entire team (WE ARE A TRANSLATION COMPANY). When I asked to leave in June 2020 for a half day for a BLM/Juneteenth Protest, my direct manager gave me a guilt trip and said that we are busy and we needed to work and completely dismissed the fact that I needed some time to support my community for my own mental health and my actual performance to be better. This is very BAD for a manager to be completely oblivious to events that effect employees in the workplace. I was very disappointed with her reply. Never has my direct manager ever checked up on me to see my evaluation on my process and my growth in the company so I can have a track and a career in my department. she always wanted me to put me under her control and not allow me to grow. Everytime I ask to have a meeting regarding professional development and where I can improve and where my skills will be at better use, my direct manager would always put me back into the box of "this is what the job is and this is how we do things". Every single person who left that department had the same opinion about the management style. I also remember one time my direct manager telling me to enhance my grammar and my punctuation, knowing that English is not my first language, also while throwing excessive workload on us and not carrying for our work/life balance.

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.
