Pros

Steady workflow. Pays on time. I can't see any other pros.

Cons

Lack of respect towards the contractors. Extremely low rates and they are still cutting them, justifying that the Mechanical Translation helps translators. No, MT is a laugh, noone in his right mind would think that. They don't mind for the quality, as long as there's quantity. Most good translators already left and the very few still working with Iyuno are not motivated to deliver quality, on the contrary. The rates were the same as in 2007 and now, out of a sudden, they are dropping.

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.
