Very poor management, huge amount of stress, no self-development
Pros
Colleagues/people in my team were really nice (translators, QAers and PMs)
Cons
Poor management. People in the managerial roles have absolutely no idea what you are doing on a daily basis as a linguist. They don't have a realistic picture of individual projects, hence ask you to do things that are almost impossible. They don't really care about how you feel (when the workload is overwhelming, you already have too much to do etc) and just ask you to 'do your best'. However when you made a mistake, they are not supportive and ask you to explain how/why this happened, although you did express your concerns to them beforehand. You need to work extremely hard every day to meet tight deadlines, while receiving no acknowledgement or appreciation whatsoever. The pressure and stress is insane, the salary is extremely low especially when living in London, there's no support to focus on your self-development. No benefits or perks that reward your hard work or no flexibility.
