Pros

Flexitime, multicultural, possibility to work from home from time to time.

Cons

Not sure from where to start, there are so many. HR consists of one person, who is not well experienced, also when this person goes on holidays, there is no HR for the time being. No career progression at all. Management most of the time don't have a clue of what's happening, and if they do, they wont share any info. No professionalism, they lie to both clients and employers. They bring clients to the office saying they have a dedicated team just for them, when in fact the team is dedicated to another client, and ask the employers to do not mention that to the clients. Promise that will deliver work only to get more clients but without checking if it doable or not. .Lets say you are a German tester, they will expect you to log bugs in Chinese or any other languages, apart from your native language as well. Salaries are constantly delayed and freelancers don't get paid. You can send endless emails asking for info about your payment and they will all be ignored. They don't follow any rules when it comes to disciplinary measures and will fire and replace you doesn't matter how long you are working for them, since the upper management only see you as a disposable resource and don't value you as an individual. Basically if you are looking for a place where your salary will remain the same, don't care if your hard work is recognized and don't have any career ambitious, this is definitely the right fit for you

Pros

Project managers are good. They keep in touch all the time, and it's easy to communicate with them.

Cons

They want the best translators and offer them huge projects. Their deadlines are crazy but doable. However, when it comes to paying, it's by far the worst company I've worked for. They say they will pay 60 days after they receive the invoice, which is already an extremely long period of time. This is the second and last time I translate for them. The first time, it took them 9 months to pay me! This time, way worse. It's going to be a year next week, and they don't even answer my messages anymore.
