Pros

No issues with payment in full & on-time

Cons

The pay for freelancers is very very low - the initial offer made is misleading Projects are very large and not enough time is given Particularly for irish translation - the government generally pays quite well for irish translation . STAR management must take the lion's share of this payment and pay the translators what, functionally, amounts to less than minimum wage. Very corporate approach and atmosphere

Pros

Project managers are decent people and friendly. Proofreaders are also genuine and will cooperate with each other accordingly. If you wanted a line on your CV following graduation from an undergraduate languages programme, here is the place to go.

Cons

Very poor pay in comparison to other translation comparison in Ireland. Reneged on initial offer given, refused to renegotiate. Slow to renegotiate after passing probation, volume of work severely reduced when pay rise was achieved. Questionable standard of language skills by other translators and proofreaders.
