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.

Pros

Reasonable pay, hybrid home-working option.

Cons

Appalling attitude from most levels of management. Timesheet restrictions and productivity expectations for overworked departments are regularly tightened beyond reasonable levels while managers pretend nothing has changed, and some of them are often heard openly complaining about how useless their employees are. Concerns over mass layoffs and 'relocations' to cut costs are waved off with corporate euphemisms. A high-ranking HR member had to be asked by staff to try and show a little empathy in their emails about 'rightsizing', and the CEO basically told employees to get over it when they pointed out the irony of him claiming to be people-focused a couple of weeks after decimating an entire division of the company. They did send people branded hats though, so that's nice.

Pros

Can’t think of any other than people here usually stay for decades.

Cons

Same as above, the lifers and long timers are set in their ways. Can’t teach old dogs new tricks The software suite is a total piece of crap. Outdated and very buggy, engineers or lack thereof to fix the bugs which makes it unsupportable. Very angry customers as a result of the buggy software. Some bugs and tickets remain open for years. While the bugs remain unfixed, they keep introducing new features. Some won’t work and become new bugs. Director of technical teams is a project manager with no technical background. The director rants on and on about politics and how many software issues there are, but does nothing to address them. Hear the same things every week in the same meetings.
