Pros

If you value a strong company ethos and stability, there are many worse places. There's good communication across the departments and I ended up playing football regularly with colleagues across the company, and two years after leaving I still do. The people are for the most part sound young graduates so the atmosphere is welcoming and very friendly. Providing you're not averse to admin, the role is stimulating as you are dealing directly with clients but mainly in a back office function (logging translation orders, managing several translation projects simultaneously, day to day communication with freelance translators). Occasionally quite exciting as well.

Cons

Linear company structure, too little imagination in developing employees range of tasks and opportunities for development.

Pros

Good starting salary, the job provides a good introduction into the translation industry. Plenty of opportunities for overtime. Colleagues tend to be friendly.

Cons

Lack of career progression opportunities, very high turnover rate which places a strain on middle management. Reliance on steady stream of graduates means that people are only trained to a certain level -- beyond that, there's nowhere to go in terms of promotion or further training. Overtime culture to a certain extent - leaving on time on a regular basis is frowned upon. Stress is a real issue and is not taken seriously as a problem by HR/management, even when backed up by a doctor's note. No communication between senior management and staff. Positive feedback is rare.

Pros

Nice people, good facilities, study support offered, pension scene, health insurance

Cons

Limited car parking, very low pay, no study leave. Although they offer study support there are not really any opportunities for career development. Continuously doing the same repetitive duties.
