Pros

Great people on the in-office teams, cool office to work in, facilities were high tech.

Cons

Just about everything else. Very low pay, weak benefits that got worse year over year, teams were compartmentalized to the point where collaboration had to be rebuilt from the ground up several times, no opportunities to develop or advance. Personal responsibility and contributions constantly increasing while simultaneously undergoing constant layoffs. Executive management tries poorly to maintain a positive attitude throughout by promising the worst is over just before laying even more people off. Executive teams were obsessed with AI and constantly restructuring themselves into new teams and titles without changing anything. If you're even remotely anti-AI, this is not the place for you.

Pros

At the beginning, I had stable work and didn’t have to worry about making ends meet. Iyuno was enough as my main income, and I could live comfortably.

Cons

Over time, my workload was gradually reduced without any explanation, despite having five years of experience and consistently high-quality work. I was effectively replaced by new translators while being kept in the dark. This has left me uncertain about my future, and unfortunately, I can no longer rely on Iyuno as a primary source of income. After years of dedication and turning down other opportunities to stay loyal, this outcome is very disappointing.
