Pros

Decent training on different tools and processes.

Cons

Consistently low and stagnant pay, coupled with delays in pay reviews and promotions. Many talented translators are earning only the minimum wage or slightly above, a disparity that undermines their motivation and overall satisfaction. Many have left, with all of them earning more money working on a freelance basis or in non-translation roles. The general culture is about fostering an environment that undermines employees' efforts. Instances where simple oversights, such as an unsaved email, can significantly delay promotions by months or years. The company's recent mergers and acquisitions have resulted in significant inefficiencies due to duplicated processes and tools. There appears to be a disconnect between management and the day-to-day contributions of employees. Employees' efforts and contributions are overlooked and undervalued, breeding a sense of disengagement.

Pros

Good place to start after university providing good training on tools used in the industry and on post-edition.

Cons

Language services provider that could not care less for it's linguists. Absolutely no employee retention (they don't even try) so everyone leaves by the time they reach 5 years. Linguists must manage several demanding clients and even more projects management and translation tools causing a daily nightmare. Terrible communication between departments, leading to catastrophic situations.
