Pros

I am a freelance translator. The assignments offered used to be interesting and reasonably paid, up to two years ago. Not now.

Cons

Assignments are always in a rush, and the rates offered are the worst in the industry. How they can get reasonable quality with their setup is a mystery to me.

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
