RWS Group reviews

Incredibly unprofessional. I was called into a meeting out of the blue, offered a promotion to then have it retracted two days later because I seemed “unsure”. Of course I was unsure, there was no job description or salary and I am unsure how I was expected to immediately agree to something that wasn’t even formalised. Incidentally those who did get the promotion didn’t find out their salary until their next pay check. The company will bend over backwards for clients at the expense of their employees. During an entire summer working there someone cried on the department every day from being overworked and stressed while doing insane overtime. There’s also such an uncomfortable atmosphere on the department caused by a ridiculous blame culture and air of secrecy over everything. The moment I left I realised that literally no other company or members senior of management behave in the way RWS does.

The work environment is getting more and more political. Management is very focused on immediate returns, and every decision is driven by its short-term profitability. The company has got rid of a lot of talents to become “cost efficient.” This was poorly communicated as well, and everyone is afraid of losing their jobs. There’s a high level of insecurity and anxiety across the company. It will take some time for the big boat to sink, and it’s not yet sunk, but if the trend continues, eventually it will.
