GlobalLogic reviews

Essentially a digital sweatshop. The overall project I am under working with Google as the client has gone from a bearable and sometimes enjoyable experience to a place I have to drag myself to every day. The conditions that we are forced to work under and maintain are dehumanizing. We are not allowed to socialize like regular human beings. We are forced to basically micromanage things which is unnecessary. We get little to no benefits and TERRIBLE PAY. For a program that requires its employees to have Master’s degrees and above, their pay rates alone speak volumes for how greedy and disrespectful they are. Someone working directly with AI who has a Master’s degree or above is usually making $18-21/hr. Leads doing the work of 3 people in 8 hour work days (because we are not allowed to work overtime anymore, as that only takes more money from this capitalistic business) make around $28/hr. Project Owners and above make little more than that. It is very evident at this company that you are just a number with zero value, and they give no care to whether you have to sacrifice your physical or mental health in order to barely meet their demands. This company consistently takes part in legally questionable practices when it comes to disciplinary measures, wages, benefits, conditions, offboardings/layoffs, etc. They refuse to acknowledge concerns of any kind, quickly sweeping them under the rug or ignoring them completely. Do not give this company the time of day. The workplace is toxic, deplorable, and sickening. Anyone can do better than settling for being treated like you are worth less than the robot you are working to train.

This company has gone from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. For their client Google, they hired around 2,000 analysts (known as "raters"), the majority of whom had either a Masters or PhD. We were generating data to train AI models and were selected for our subject matter knowledge. In the past six months, the following has happened: * Elimination of professional development, something that was promised at the time of hiring. * A new policy forbidding raters from socializing, unless it was specifically about tasks. People who openly questioned the policy and asked for clarifications were laid off (myself included). * As the workload of the leads was dramatically increased, a culture of bullying developed. Workers who were upset about this treatment were shuffled around to different teams or placed on a PIP. * Leads were taking on more responsibility for no increase in wage. Frequently, they were promised a future wage increase, but those never materialized. * Paths to advancement were changed and clarity on those changes was never addressed. This was again something promised at our hiring, and management continuously dodged our questions on how we could move up. Even the corporate structure appeared convoluted. * Management's communication was often disingenuous and condescending. * Mass layoffs that were clearly designed to avoid the WARN Act. Layoffs would include just below the number that would trigger the act. At this time, approximately one-third of raters have been unexpectedly laid off. This has been happening since the beginning of the year in waves. Those who were laid off were not given a heads up. Instead, they found out when they could not log into their accounts/equipment.
