Pros

Nice office, good travel discount and overall company benefits.

Cons

After only one year as a Localization Specialist, I was asked to step in for my manager who was going on maternity leave for a year. Initially, I was promised a salary increase for all the extra responsibilities and new skills needed for the role as a Quality Manager. However, I was told only a couple of days later that they decided to not give me any salary increase, as "the rules had changed after the pandemic". This was never communicated to the team to begin with. I expressed my disappointment around this and was then “guaranteed” a compensation in the salary review the following year. This compensation never happened; despite all the positive feedback I had received from the other Quality Managers in my team. Shortly after this, I realised that my hard work was never going to pay off in this company, and I therefore decided to leave EG after nearly 3 years.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
