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 Outdated and very buggy, engineers or lack thereof to fix the bugs which makes it unsupportable.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.

Pros

Good benefits. Lots of really nice, professional, friendly people to work with.

Cons

Very poor communication across the board. Senior management are often out of their depth. No investment in staff; profits are ploughed into acquisitions (which are often ill-advised). Unwilling to allow flexible working despite paying the lowest salaries in the industry and being headquartered in the UK's most expensive postcode. No coherent plan and no support for team and department managers, leading to systemic problems across the board.

Pros

You get to know the translation industry and how it works You can meet some like -minded people

Cons

Management are negative and can behave very unprofessionally Have witnessed and been subject to bullying and targeting behaviour Workload is very heavy and monotonous! If mistakes are made, management will find a way to blame those in lower positions Communication between and within departments is poor No chance for progression - managers are very comfortable in their positions and are getting rid of their own work to disable progression of their team members.
