Pros

Lots of work... if you care to work for nothing.

Cons

I processed hundreds of projects and this unethical company implemented every trick in the book to not pay the full amount. We do the job you sell and we struggle to get paid. Project managers are very friendly, but they are not linguists. Project managers tend to be new graduates who just want to work, but they don't know the consequences linguists face when they deduct word counts and rates, delay purchase orders and delay payments. They don't know that what they do is not acceptable in the translation field. Again, we do the job you sell and we struggle to get paid. Accounting doesn't answer emails and they stopped replying tickets. Think about the linguists who do the job you sell.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
