Crimson Interactive Reviews

Having worked for other editing companies the general structure is that you are employed as an editor, do the work, a more senior editor checks the work over to catch mistakes and provide feedback, before passing final edited document to client. Not Enago, you are the only editor. No feedback is given for improvement. If a document is randomly picked for audit, any feedback given means you do not get paid at all for the document. This means hours of restructuring a document can go unpaid if you miss out a comma. A lot of work had extremely tight deadlines, and despite what the employee handbook says, there are no salary negotiations considering this. Enago gives a discount to any author submitting a document over 10,000 words. I understand this. I do not understand why this discount is taken from the editor. I did not agree a discount; long documents therefore mean more work for less pay. My pay rate was $10 per 1000 words. This is extremely low when compared to other, similar, companies.

If you're an experienced editor, there are better much places out there. They treat editors like school kids or worse, like vermin. The salaries are abysmally low. You're cooped up in a tiny bay and are expected to finish a lot of work in ridiculously little time. It's ALWAYS the editor's fault and never people who assign you work. The manager has a penchant for yelling at people. They are always UNDERSTAFFED because of the editors who leave or who are let go. Because of this, you never get any leaves. God save you if you do take an unplanned leave (You will be yelled at). They'd rather OVERWORK an editor than hire another hand. You WILL work for 12 hours a day. Again. great exposure if you're starting your career off. Side note: Everyone gets really sloshed at company outings. It's the only way to let off steam. Oh, and every editor is supposed to sign a year-long contract. Places that are a joy to work at won't need a contract to keep their employees on board.
