Pros

There are none. Not anymore.

Cons

I went through a very extensive on-boarding process to be an editor/Quality Assurance proofreader. The files I'm seeing are so bad that I have to RE-TRANSLATE everything from scratch at only $0.01 to 0.02 per word. Highly technical content is being given to inexperienced staff and I need to re-translate at low pay? Absolutely not. Too time consuming. There's rent to pay and I would have to work 90 hour weeks just to make ends meet. RWS is now adopting the sweatshop model.

Excellent place to gain hands-on experience with AI/ML training data workflows. The project guidelines are very clear and structured.

Cons

The work is highly repetitive and sitting for long hours requires deep focus. Deadlines are tight with strict weekly accuracy quotas.
