Reviews of Global Voices Ltd. (Translator)

Delia -

Global Voices is a fantastic place to work with a really upbeat and ambitious company culture. We are certainly one to watch!

Scott Baxter

I had the misfortune of working with this company, terrible results and Luigi Koechlin is one of the rudest people I've ever dealt with. AVOID!

Pablo Robertson

Awful translation work, very rude email from Luigi Koechlin when I complained about the work. Not acceptable.

KEPLER HR Driving underlying forces

Global Voices is well-known in the industry and among European universities because of its (in)famous internship program. If you spend 5 minutes of your time looking online for reviews by previous interns and employees, you'll notice that most of them are negative. And there's a reason for it. This Google Maps page has a very odd rating distribution, as pretty much all the ratings are either one or five stars, nothing in between. That's when you notice that a lot of the 5-star reviews are current employees promoting the company, as well as the Head of HR, Scott Baxter (HR should really stand for "Horrifically Remorseless", but more on that later). It's pretty funny that they took the time to reply to their own positive reviews via the Global Voices account, but I guess that was the only way to get good reviews. Let me summarize why this company is so bad: - The majority of employees are unpaid interns (or at least they used to be, before being terminated out of the blue because of Covid19) - Interns go through onboarding in a day or two, and are then expected to learn everything from more experienced interns, not full-timers - The quality of work is.. well.. work produced by untrained interns, so you better lower your expectations - Their official website lists several offices scattered around the globe, and yet they only post photos of the main Stirling office on Instagram. How come we never get to see the other ones? ... Oh, right. - Upper management is straight up rude, previous employees and interns constantly mention it in their reviews. Senior managers don't even try to be polite with teammates and clients, since they won't be held accountable for their words or actions. - Working overtime is the norm (the above-mentioned low-quality work, except it's even worse! Sounds like a good deal to me) I could keep going, but I'm sure you get the point. This company deserves to fail, yet somehow seems to survive by constantly hiring new employees (or interns), exploiting them until they decide to leave, hiring again, and so on. Shame on you, Global Voices. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy their reply to this review stating everything I mentioned is false, or simply providing a support email that I can reach out to.

The CEO is the reason that this company will fail. All ego/narcissism and zero business smarts. He's gotten the company where it is by exploiting unpaid interns and passing their work off as that of qualified / experienced professionals. Avoid at all costs.

Julián Bazán

Inaccurate translation and slow. When I challenged the bad service very poor customer service from Jurgita Koechlin . Avoid!

Have been here as an intern and then been employed after graduation. They are working a lot on work environment and benefits (free fruit, coffee, tea, flexibility on days off). As for for the quality of the services they provide I know they are dedicating now a group of full-timers just to quality issues, trying to improve this side of the business as well.

Nell Dag

Nothing serious

Bob M

Buzz at the main door. Employee answers

Nino Hinz

The business there is poorly managed and complains are not even addressed at all by project managers. After some research, it seems that most workers in their offices are unpaid interns. There are a lot of translations agencies offering better services and treating their linguists better.

Very friendly ????

Company that does not take care of your commitments to your employees. To refrain is not seriousgg
