Pros

Possibly a good starter agency for a new translator, because they have lots of work.

Cons

Things went well to begin with, but starting in 2008 went downhill rapidly. Always lower and lower rates, and tighter and tighter deadlines. Each job has to be negotiated individually. At present, the two founders are fighting in court. I will certainly not accept work from them as long as this is going on.

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.
