very international company but lacks of communication - Intern - Hourly Language Connect Employee Review

Absolutely nothing whatsoever as this company is a total scam.

I did literally THOUSANDS of WORDS of translations and they DON'T PAY!!! This is a total scam. Don't get tricked.

some genuinely kind and talented colleagues

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ways of working Unprofessional and irresponsible management style with childish favouritism practice Ridiculously outdated technology and working process that fundamentally hinder efficiency Overwhelmingly unreasonable and exploitative workload paired with a sinister blame culture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.
