Ventajas

Colleagues/people in my team were really nice (translators, QAers and PMs)

Desventajas

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.

Desventajas

-Small office space, but the team is also small, so it works -Managing time zones can be challenging but that's the nature of the business and everyone is very considerate when scheduling calls or managing cross over time in general -Fast pace but that's the nature of the localization industry as well

Ventajas

Your teammates are sometimes supportive.

Desventajas

Zero training or shadowing other than "read all this documentation". Management cannot communicate whatsoever and hold frequent meetings to "brainstorm" which effectively accomplishes nothing and contradict themselves constantly. I hope you absolutely love filling in endless cross-checking trackers and/or fields inside and outside of arhaic software that will make you work long grueling hours where still nothing is ever right cross-functionally. Your teammates and immediate managers will not fight with or for you because they are inexperienced and frightened. OT is paid as time in lieu. You don't have sick days and they're lumped in with your vacation. Expected to tell them when you're taking breaks i.e. "I'm going to the doctor" then you have to make up that time. The healthcare and benefits coverage is below sub-par. Expected to reinvent the wheel for upper management who don't know how to run a company whatsoever.
