Headaches and Confusion more than Harmony and Support - Lead Instructor LanguageBird Employee Review

Great company, good people, excellent students.

I has been great so far.

The role itself was enjoyable initially, with the opportunity to face and work through challenges and I often got to work on things that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten to do.

After working here for almost a two years, I seriously considered a career change. While I enjoyed the role at first and faced some challenges, I ultimately felt unheard and unsupported. It became clear that most employees, aside from a few, secured their positions through personal connections rather than through formal recruitment channels. Many roles within the company were never posted on job boards, and getting hired often depended on knowing someone internally. Contract workers were treated as if they weren’t truly part of the team, with some management referring to them as “cheap labor.” As time went on, it became increasingly difficult to stay motivated and supportive of the company. There are limited opportunities for personal development or long-term career growth, and there is a clear lack of investment in employees' professional development. No incentives are provided, leaving employees feeling stagnant and undervalued. Employees are often encouraged to suppress their concerns, and if you don’t maintain a constant, overly positive attitude, there’s a risk of being let go. Overall, the work environment feels dismissive, and the lack of transparency, fair compensation, and support for career advancement made it challenging to stay.
