Pros

Its a pay check if you are desperate for income

Cons

Merger chaos, constant reorg & continuous layoffs for over 1 year. Revenue nosedive with COVID. Repulsive, rude, pompous, unqualified, inexperienced, hypocritical top heavy SR Mgmt team push jobs to low paying APAC regions. SR Mgmt who are in midst of year-long power struggle & constantly fighting. SR Mgmt who condone/encourages staff working 7 days a week or sleeping at office so you can work more hours, & who also expect you will work on major natl holidays, weekends & participate in mtgs from 7AM with EU and also at 10PM with APAC. Unprofessional inexperienced unpolished HR team who are writing the positive comments and perfect scores on Glassdoor.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. While your experience at Iyuno is not in line with the majority of our current staff, who provide positive feedback and consider Iyuno a great place to work, we note that some of your comments are voicing frustrations that are not supported by the facts. Iyuno is proud to work closely, and daily, with supervisors to address work-life balance in our employees' lives. We observe all major national holidays and add even more paid days off to the company calendar to ensure employees get time off to rest, rejuvenate, and relax. We provide more paid days off and better benefits than our competition, and we hold regular Town Halls to seek out feedback and respond in real time to employee questions and needs. With a major merger in any growing and thriving company there are moments of upheaval as things change. We hope that your experience will improve soon, so you can join the ranks of the majority of Iyuno employees in finding rewarding careers here for many years to come.

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.

We value the expertise and commitment of our freelance community and are sorry to hear this was your experience. Work volumes in our industry can shift based on client demand, language needs, and project mix. That said, we recognize that changes without clear communication can be frustrating, especially for long-standing contributors.

Your feedback highlights an area where we must continue to improve. Iyuno values quality, experience, and professionalism, and we do not reduce opportunities based on individuals raising questions or concerns. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
