Pros

Huge opportunities for growth and advancement (I've not personally experienced this but some of my colleagues have), mostly young employees eager to do well, fast-paced environment (if you're into that sort of thing), opportunities for travel, competitive entry salary and benefits

Cons

Lack of ongoing, consistent, formalized training. Huge lack of company culture - there seem to be pretty wilted efforts to build a company culture. This results in something that, in my opinion, screams "boring corporate entity". Lots of inconsistency across productivity channels - some things that seem like they should be standardized are not, which leads to a lot of confusion and inability to pinpoint when things go wrong. Also, work/life balance is difficult. Expect to work 9-10 hours every day. A standard 8-hour workday here doesn't really exist. Weekend work also happens.

Pros

- There is such a high staff turnaround that they constantly hire (3/4 of my team left in about 8 months) - Your workload depends on how much your manager likes or dislikes you. You will get promoted or stuck where you are accordingly - You work very long hours so you don't need to wonder what your plans are for the evening

Cons

- Very childish management with big egos and very poor people management skills - Work hard but not smart. Just execute, no need for thinking - No career opportunities as they make you believe - Highly unprofessional and rude - Project management on post-its and paper... no joke

Pros

There's no pros I can think of. Horrible people.

Cons

Notorious for not paying. They give you a "sample" of 10 pages to translate and then they dissapear. Never paid, never gave an explanation.
