Pluspunten

I worked with Lilt for years, there was a stable amount of orders every month. They sent out the translations randomly, and if the translator did not accept it or not reply, it was sent out to another translator after 2 hours.

Minpunten

A few months ago they changed the system, and send out the requests to all of the translators at once. Since then, I was not able to work on any of the projects. I clicked on the request many times, often in 10-20 seconds, but the translation was already accepted by another translator. It should be a scam now, I believe we are on the list to proof how many requests were sent out, and the AI translates the sources in the meantime. It is literally not possible that another translator accepts the requests in few seconds, at 2pm and at 1am as well. I am working with a small language and there are no more tranlators in our department than only a few. The management never replies to our mails, most of the managers are Indian, with a few local manager for the languages. We often get Amazon gift cards to rate the company on the biggest review portals, so most of their reviews are fake.

Love this. The internal tech stack getting a shoutout is especially fun to hear, our engineering and research teams put a lot into it. Noted on the coffee situation and the parking, both very real. As for SKO, it's something we've talked about internally and hope to bring back when the timing is right. Thanks for being part of the team.

Pluspunten

The people on my team are the best part of this job. They're sharp, deeply committed, and willing to run at hard problems without being asked twice. Leadership has earned my trust by being honest about what's working and what isn't, and by owning their decisions when things don't land the way they hoped. The CEO is not perfect, but is open to feedback and visibly tries to grow, which I respect more than polish. The company recently took a hard look at pay and made meaningful adjustments, which sent a real signal to my team that they're valued. There's also a clear push to take smart risks and keep building forward, especially around agentic AI, and that energy is contagious when you're leading people through change.

Minpunten

The recent right sizing was painful. The teams that remain are sharper and more focused, but I watched good people leave, and that weight stays with you as a manager. Work life balance is treated like a topic we don't talk about, and I see the cost of that in my own team. People do their best thinking when they're rested, and right now the unspoken expectation is to always be on. Benefits sit at average or slightly below where they should be for a company asking this much of its people, and that gap is something my team notices.

What stands out in this review is that the same teams absorbing hard change are also the ones running closest to empty. You're right that rest hasn't been something we've made enough room to talk about, and the signal from the top hasn't matched what we'd want for our people. Your advice on rest and celebration goes together for us, because both come back to whether the work feels sustainable and worth it. Benefits are part of that same picture, and somewhere we know we have ground to cover. Thank you for leading through a hard stretch with this much care.
