Business outlook
Pros
Downtown San Diego office is prime. Diverse staff. Room for growth for translators and interns. Generally laid-back vibe.
Cons
No training or instruction. First notification that boss isn't pleased means you're out of there. I watched this happen to several others before it happened to me. If you interpret the unspoken rules incorrectly, you'll be laid off. Turnover is extremely high due to their lack of ability to forecast work - they hire lots of additional staff to do big projects and then lay them off. Cattiness amongst females in upper management. Many contractors who've been there a long time - made it through rounds of layoffs - who are treated as second-class citizens.
