Ventajas

The staff are some of THE best in the translation and interpreting sector.

Desventajas

Lack of focus with THG treating the LC team as worker bees since Ben Taylor left. The company bought LC to do their own website work event though LC is mainly a market research translation agency. The interpreting department went to pots and all the best staff are leaving. The values in LC have gone, mostly "TRUST" and the company just thinks staff discounts are the only thing we care about. Everything is about Manchester and the brands - there is no desire to grow LC any longer. The new managing director seems inappropriate, confused and overstretched, looking after other group companies.

We are sorry to hear if there have been any issues in the processing of payment. We believe the matter in question has now been resolved but do get in contact if not. We pride ourselves on our prompt payment and are actually rated as 4.9 out of 5 by the freelance community under the category of “reasonable payment terms” in our Proz.com Blueboard ratings.

Ventajas

some genuinely kind and talented colleagues

Desventajas

Extremely poor working environment that hugely affects one’s physical and mental health Zero training, unstructured on-boarding process and disorganised ways of working Unprofessional and irresponsible management style with childish favouritism practice Ridiculously outdated technology and working process that fundamentally hinder efficiency Overwhelmingly unreasonable and exploitative workload paired with a sinister blame culture Treating employees like machines, even when employees are truly struggling and having to work overtime on a regular basis due to unrealistic targets and a complete lack of training, guidance and support, the blame is always directed to the individuals, who is not even provided with decent working conditions and efficient tools in the first place. Instead of looking into the root cause of all the mess and unpleasantness in the workplace and therefore actually invest in real training, better management and infrastructure improvement, they continue watching you drown in pressure and then blame you for not having good enough time management skills like an evil capitalist when you can no longer take your lunchbreaks. This is not a place for anyone who is truly passionate about languages and cares about quality. The goal is always to find a cheaper linguist and your own language skills will also be exploited, as on top of an already-unbearable workload, you will be constantly asked to check, review and even translate something for free as a favour, encouraged by a culture that makes people carry a moral burden to 'help out' despite being overwhelmed already. This is the place that will destroy your dreams and hopes for translation companies. I had never been this miserable and depressed in any other paid jobs before I joined them.
