      Pros

      Extremely transparent team, top to bottom. There's 'no wrong doors' and I'm yet to find a question that I haven't been provided an answer to. Strong career growth opportunities, and ALWAYS opportunities to put your ideas opinions forward, have them challenged, challenge others and use it to grow. The jobs get done. I can't think of a (high-level) commitment that has been made at LILT that hasn't been followed through to a logical conclusion. Tech and innovation is great - there are always nuances to work out but the advancements come quickly and it feels like LILT is pulling away from the market. Decisions are made based on data, not (only) gut feel. Leadership group has come a long way; Senior Leadership included - the team makes good decisions and, critically, is happy to be proved wrong.

      Cons

      UK annual leave policy isn't as flexible as other companies, meaning that finding a balance in terms of rest is important, but overall there's enough flexibility to achieve personal and professional goals. There isn't always a perfect synergy between some 'traditional' language industry folks and the way that LILT works, but that's to be expected in a period of such high change in the industry. Neither of these things are so negative that they're dealbreakers, but providing a balanced view.

      Pros

      - team players, easy to find support when needed - one of the best internal tech stacks I’ve used - the $$

      Cons

      - no coffee until 8am - expensive parking near office - no SKO

      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.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
