Pros

Very interesting projects. New equipment.

Cons

Communication is appalling. Contracts are designed to adhere to the minimum requirements of local labor laws or possibly semi-legal employment solutions. No respect for personal life at all. No opportunities for career advancement and training unless you are Korean. So much time and money wasted due to poor management judgement and badly designed business strategies. A very stressful environment to work at not because of the clients or the projects but because of the untrained, inexperienced managers who do not have a clear communication style and professional integrity. HR is inexperienced with local regulations and makes serious mistakes.

IYUNO provide employees with the best opportunities to grow and self develop, in a conducive environment where everyone is willing to assist and support you in your roles/duties.

As a new employee I haven't experienced any downsides. Just excited and looking forward to the great exposure and opportunities working here is going to create for me.

Pros

The work itself is fun and creative if you like translation/subtitling. Most colleagues are nice, helpful, and friendly. I personally had great line managers. Okay Covid-19 response. Fairly good company-wide communications. Free candy, fruit and coffee/tea/milk available in the kitchen. Flexible hours (within reason). During the pandemic we've all been allowed to work from home, and it has always been an option for people before the pandemic happened, too (but I can't say for sure that will continue).

Cons

There is no natural way to advance your career within the company as a subtitler/subtitle editor/translator/proofreader - the only way to go is towards client or project management. Salaries are generally low at entry level, and the salary progression is very slow. Upper management has no or very little idea what people on the production level actually do. From the top, the company is generally an uncaring environment. No real respect for the employees on the production level. The work is often stressful and you will receive very little or no appreciation. If you try to raise issues, they will be taken seriously by your own line managers, but will get stuck on the way up the management chain. The 'Legacy Iyuno' people/managers have no understanding of the work the 'Legacy BTI' people do. Upper management is too eager/quick to implement changes that don't work on a practical level. Parts of management don't like to take responsibility - they just shuffle the blame onto others. Too many company-wide emails that don't relate to the recipient(s). Absolutely no trust in the employees whatsoever.
