Pros

Good place to start after university providing good training on tools used in the industry and on post-edition.

Cons

Language services provider that could not care less for it's linguists. Absolutely no employee retention (they don't even try) so everyone leaves by the time they reach 5 years. Linguists must manage several demanding clients and even more projects management and translation tools causing a daily nightmare. Terrible communication between departments, leading to catastrophic situations.
