Pros

Some of the PMs are pleasant to work with, they offer a lot of work to translators. Their deadlines are sometimes flexible, and the material is on occasion interesting.

Cons

no concern about quality, but will fabricate excuses about quality to cut translator pay. Full time staff have very little knowledge about the translation business. Their reputation among translation professionals is very poor. I have seen them staff translation projects with people who were not native speakers of the target language and had a very limited understanding of the source language as well.

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
