Pros

- Nice Projet Managers to work with (when they stay more a couple of weeks)

Cons

- After the first week you will never work an 8-9 hour day again. Overtime can reach crazy amount of hours, most weeks average 50-60 hours, but salary doe not reflect this... You are paid with gratefulness at best. - Work/Life balance is a myth. - To the company all employees are merely cogs in a machine, most employees do not matter to management. - Team managers are of no support AT ALL, especially when you stay later and they are long gone.

Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you are only voicing your concerns after you have left the company. The work of a project manager always carries a certain pressure, as translation is a deadline-driven world, but this is exactly one of the things that makes the job exciting. We do not wish for anybody to work regular overtime. We encourage anybody who feels that they don’t have a choice but to work overtime in order to get their work done to speak to their manager or HR and we will be happy to sit together and to find a solution. We also encourage anybody to speak to our training officer who can provide very useful time management and other training.

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.
