Burn and Churn Business Model - Anonymous employee Translations.com Employee Review

Some of the best dev team in the world, strong management team, great teamwork

Difficult market consolidated within 36 months

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.

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.
