Pros

It's hiring in the current economy. But hiring continuously as about 50% of new starters quit within 2 weeks.

Cons

Enormous pressure to low-ball translators and have work turned around quickly. Emphasis on speed rather than quality. Continuous pressure to get work turned around. The problem being that the work isn't in your hands. No sense of accomplishment can ever be realized as more deadlines are always on the horizon. Results from unrealistic deadlines and having to use the cheapest translators on the planet are that errors are made. You will then lose money on your bonus and receive negative feedback. All of this despite the fact you can only do the best job possible with the funds afforded to you. A walk around the office will confirm that hardly anyone has any experience at all. Senior management is absolutely terrible.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
