Pros

Young, smart, amiable coworkers. A degree of independence for which to conduct your client relationships. get to interact with coworkers and clients from across the globe.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid is "de rigueur" at Translations.com The sales staff is bloated, whereas CS, Production and Engineering struggle to leave the office at a decent hour. This fosters an environment of sullen, defeated employees. "Bonus" package is wipe-your-ass money. The "work" consists of consistantly smoothing things over with clients who are increasingly upset with translation errors, quality issues, delivery issues, etc, etc. Management is dysfunctional and unsupportive, and will most likely project their own issues, instead of being a source of constructive criticism and positive feedback.

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.
