My experience at this company left me disappointed in several areas. Opportunities for professional growth were limited, and advancement often seemed influenced by favoritism rather than merit. Workplace culture could feel unbalanced, with some concerning attitudes toward gender dynamics and professional conduct.

Compensation was below industry expectations, which, combined with limited career development, made retention difficult for many talented employees. Leadership, particularly at the executive level, appeared disengaged from the core mission of running a localization business, and client retention was a recurring challenge despite significant investment in business development.

Additionally, security did not seem to be a strong priority, even in situations where it should have been a key focus. Overall, the company has potential, but there are significant areas that need attention to foster a fair, supportive, and sustainable workplace.

Worked there as a QC'er for 14 years. Never got a cent of a raise. I did a lot of work for them that required special skills and contributed in many ways and yet there is no loyalty or appreciation. Their management is terrible. In the last five years I've seen more changes with their management with constant hiring and firing. They are not forthcoming with anything and since most of their workers are freelance they won't get a heads up on anything, they will just discard them without forewarning. They pay their translators anything from 2.50 to maybe 3.5 per runtime minute if you beg for it. Qc'ers make $1.50 per runtime minute and it's been like this for as long as I worked for them. Hourly tasks pay $15 an hour, which means minimum wage now.... Yet they demand skills and want you to  "take pride in your work" even though you won't be able to pay your bills. Terrible place.

The job is fun, challenging and very rewarding. You're constantly improving and working on new projects. People are usually nice and smart, and quality work is valued even if it takes (much) longer to perform. The office is open 24/7 and you can set your own hours. There's free pizza on Thursday nights and free bagels on Friday mornings.

Unfortunately, the pay is much too low. It's impossible to raise a family in the area on that salary. People who quit almost always do so because they're not paid enough, and most translators make minimal efforts because the job doesn't pay well enough to be spending more than a handful of hours on a project. As a result, QCers basically have to act as co-translators if they want the subtitles to be high quality.

While working from home has had it's positive aspects, we are all looking forward to getting back together, at least occasionally, in the office where we have free breakfasts and other social gatherings.  The company has been very responsive to the pandemic and has allowed everyone to work from home, which has been great.  The recently announced a program called iCare, which is going to be about taking care of employees now as we return to the office and move forward into the future.  The whole concept is employee-focused and is about taking care of Iyuno's people, so that the people will take great care of Iyuno's customers.  It's a nice way to do business.

Poor communication across divisions. Sales commits to deadlines without checking to see if there is capacity to handle it. Management picks their favorites and everyone else is expendable (for example there was a Friday that was the last day of someone who worked there for 8 years and someone that was there for 6 months and there was a company wide email and party for the 6 month person while the 8 year person had to organize his own get together). Managers that don't understand at all what their teams do, but yet enforce unreasonable deadlines because they think it should always work as the best case scenario did.

Working at this company was an extremely disheartening experience. The management displayed a clear lack of respect for employees, often dismissing concerns, offering no constructive feedback, and failing to support team members in any meaningful way. The culture felt toxic from the start—communication was poor, morale was low, and the pressure to perform without any recognition or appreciation was overwhelming. It was difficult to find motivation in such an environment, and the constant negativity from leadership made it challenging to feel valued or respected. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive and healthy workplace culture.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I do what I was doing for the last five years from home. My expertise is valued and I'm valued as a professional. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no stress at all at this company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We communicate with eachother and that's enough. The work is done remotely. I don't talk to my co-workers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I check my schedule prepare the files for translation and start translating. After proofreading it a second time, I give it to the next person in charge.

SDI is a great place to work if your looking for job security and colleagues that are fun to be around. You get great work perks and benefits and it's overall run pretty smoothly. The one thing I can say is the amount of accountability they put on their employees tows the line of unfairness. They are in the midst of expanding and things can get disorganized with all the change but I can see great things coming for this company.

We would log in and there would be hardly any work to work on. They are scraping the barrel for clients. The hardest part is communicating with your team lead and not getting a straight answer. Days will go by and still nothing. I would have to follow up with my questions.

Management is only in the office 4 days and remote Fridays. 

Only a select departments are required to be in office 5 days a week.

Most enjoyable parts was clocking out and going home.
