Great ideas and a lot of potential, poor execution - Anonymous employee Unbabel Employee Review

Hi former Unbabeler, Thank you for writing an honest review; we really appreciate constructive feedback in order to improve as a company. Allow us to address some of your concerns. It is true that a fast-paced environment does introduce a level of ambiguity and change into the work that we do; that is part of the DNA of a company adapting to the needs of their customers. As a result, we’re constantly reviewing our team structures and internal processes to ensure we are evolving. Regarding tools, as most start-ups we are moving a hundred miles an hour and are always looking for innovative ideas and solutions to make us more efficient. We are always open to suggestions and creative solutions, be it for project management or otherwise, did you suggest adding any software that could solve a need? As you know we have added several software tools as a result of suggestions from other Unbabelers. In terms of work-life balance of the employees we really do not understand how could that be seen as not being in equilibrium; everyone at Unbabel has total freedom to adapt and define their work schedule around their personal life needs, be it related to health, their children or simply gym hours. This reply, for instance, is being created by an Unbabeler in between their kids’ remote classes, as we’re still confined at home, following the advice of health authorities. Finally, we did have to go through a restructuring this year and it was the hardest decision we’ve had to make so far. The entire process was transparent and fully compliant with labor laws - we always ensure that we manage these difficult situations professionally and humanly and ensure that we support our employees in every way that we can. We sincerely wish you the best of luck in your new challenge, The Unbabel People Team
