Pros

Location is in a nice area Friday drinks are fun You make friends cause youre all in this hell together

Cons

Managers stand over you breathing on you as you work, it's a whole other level of micro management and certainly abuse in some cases You have no capacity to influence change no one cares what you think or what value you can bring Team leaders have it as bad if not worse cause the culture is one of bullying and fear You will never be valued by TP delivering an 11th hour project will be met with more ludicrous demands not thanks Hours are LONG, there's no process you just harrass translators to accept minimal pay and nag other project managers to proofread for you There is no such thing as saying no to a job you need to absorb the stress and stay as late as it takes to beg someone (qualified or not) to take your job and you will be dragged over the coals if there's any errors in the job Salary is so much lower than any competitor and you do not learn about processes or quality which are key for any "real" job Office is a sweat box and turnover is very high

Pros

They have a nice website, that is all!

Cons

PM disclosed vendors emails on the job call e-mail ─ that is clearly a breach of NDA/Vendor's Agreement. Payment of 7-8 EUR to proofread 500-600 words. You can imagine what they pay for translation. Other than that, fuzzy match discounts are non-negotiable. They had the amazing idea to let you be paid faster, if you give them a discount! Job assignment isn't automated, so you have to stay in front of the PC waiting for the PM to reply ─ which could take 3-4 hours.
