Pros

You can make a lot of money ONLY if you are in sales and know how to "work" the system.

Cons

After seeing all bad reviews for the last year and half, and I'm not surprised to all of a sudden see almost a dozen positive reviews from sales people in the last week. The executives here will do anything to make themselves look good - even if it means mandating their sales people to write reviews to help raise their rating. Notice the only positive reviews are from sales people. This is because in this company, sales is king (I used to be in sales too, but the downright unethical culture and incompetent and petty micromanagement turned me off) - it is the only thing that matters, and the only thing they care about is growing the company at all costs. Production people (project managers, linguists, etc.) are the scum of the earth, and sales people are allowed to walk all over them. As other reviews have said, the turnover of employees in production is very high - they believe there will always be new college grads (read: inexperienced!) to lure into their sweatshop trap, so if the word is finally out and they're having trouble finding people to hire, it doesn't surprise me that they're using the good ratings they get from salespeople to improve their rating.

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.
