Cons
My experience as Linguist with Questel never started, since I was ghosted. After passing the first 15-minutes generic interview with HR, they asked me to complete a short test - around 150 words of proofreading and 200 of translation. After submitting it, I never heard from the HR representative again. It has been a month already. Mind you, I usually never complain if I get ghosted after an interview - even though it is not fair, that is how the job market works nowadays. However, after completing a job FOR FREE, I would at least expect a "Thank you, but you were not selected." Communication consisted of cold two-line emails, with no greetings or formalities. When I called the office, after not hearing back from HR for weeks, they ensured someone would get in touch. It never happened. Plus, if you decide to start interviewing people mid-July, you cannot use August holidays as an excuse. I would definitely not recommend Questel to other linguists.
