Vantaggi

Can't think of anything. You tell me.

Svantaggi

(This review is only about San Francisco Production) There is no rule on anything. No real training on new hires. No professional career potential whatsoever. Someone people work at home all the time and some disappear regularly with various excuses. (Having a kid is a perfect reason to be a slacker there) Don't get fooled by the description in job posting: "As a result of continued demand for our products and services..." This is not even true and they're always hiring because people keep leaving the company. Very high turnover rate. Don't even apply and waste your time. Look somewhere else. If you have no other choice, good luck with them. The company's overall focus is on sales. They don't care about translation quality. I'm reading their job description for PM position and am laughing out loud. This is comedy!

Vantaggi

Stable job even in a turbulent economy. Quarterly bonuses available after training period completion. Easy to work off college debt if you can withstand the pressure.

Svantaggi

White collar staff leaning has lead to massive brain-drain of senior staff, especially US domestic staff; most replacement staff are entry level remote employees in 3rd world countries to artificially deflate hourly rates--PMs are NOT salaried. It is an uphill battle to hire domestically if at all. "Remote" work was a privilege everyone had to fight tooth and nail for individually until the pandemic hit. The COVID precautions taken in the physical office were inadequate. New hire trainees were forced to work in the office every day despite the pandemic--all 6 of them came down with COVID-19 near simultaneously in the second month of their training period. Immediate supervisors are too overloaded with piloting a sinking ship to help you. Promotions are given late. Raises are usually 1/3 of whatever you negotiate. Inter-departmental communication is a extremely lacking at best, outright dysfunctional at worst. Vendor Management has a long track record of questionable competence and professionalism. Upper management has no long-term plan beyond extinguishing the most immediate fires. Sales continues to undersell miracles and run off with the commission money, regardless of whether production can actually fulfill whatever fantasy the client was sold, without punishment. US residents interested in this company would have a better experience in R&D technology, administration, sales or client services.
