Pros

You will feel like you're part of a family. Nice in-office perks (pre covid). Small office environment. Accommodating to personal schedules. Decent amount of support to get projects done and a strong rule that projects do not commence until scope and requirements are clear. This saves a lot of time and headaches and is something not a lot of other translation companies adhere to. There are also dedicated sets of teams that help move projects along. Well-rounded training.

Cons

Immature Operations Management: One can be insulted and isolated at the drop of a hat by the operations management team. Accusatory attitudes when not aware of the full scope of situations were abundant. Immature attitudes of supposed "leaders" soured years of a working relationship. Not set up with the proper tools to handle high-level, demanding software localization projects. Those projects sometimes felt like a "fake it until you make it" scenario as a PM. Favoritism. If you stick on your manager's side, you're bound to have a better time at the company rather than if you speak your mind respectfully. More team support is needed on the PM front. The management structure makes little sense. Too many managers per person- a waste of excellent PM resources. Micromanagement.

Pros

Decent salary and reasonable workload

Cons

I rarely take the time to write feedback, but my recent experience with your company was so appalling that I feel obligated to speak up. From start to finish, the level of incompetence, lack of freedom, and disregard for Project management experienced PEOPLE was staggering. Your support team, if I could even call them that, was unhelpful, disrespectful, and clearly not trained to handle even the most basic issues. I’m writing to express my complete dissatisfaction with your company, particularly regarding the excessive micromanagement and the overall failure in listening to experienced people. Interacting with your organization has been nothing short of exhausting. At every step, I encountered layers of unnecessary approvals, repeated check-ins, and an obsession with control that paralyzed progress. It seems your team is more focused on monitoring every tiny detail than on actually solving problems or helping. This kind of micromanagement not only slows everything down—it destroys trust and efficiency. The entire experience felt like a case study in how not to run a business. It’s astonishing how little autonomy your employees seem to have, and it’s clear that this culture of over-control is hurting both your staff and your customers. I could only standalone 6 months there and I felt like hell, been monitored, examinated and voiceless. I have no intention of working with your company again, and I’ll be actively discouraging others from doing so. Something needs to change—starting with your management style.
