Pros

the pay is ok in proportion to the working hours.

Cons

They didn't pay our training ( as they said at the beginning). I had to contact them to get my pay ( they didn't make the transfer within 30 days as they had said at the beginning). I was expected to work at a project for a few months, but I only worked for them for 2 days( all of it is true for me and for all my colleagues who were contacted for this same project).

Lack of skillful linguistic native recruiters/workers

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work environment is very laid back

Cons

The recruiters don't have HR education/experience, they base themselves in evaluating linguistic skills. The people recruiting sometimes are not native (while screening and selecting the native candidates for a specific language), or have a sciences/engineering degree displaying low quality linguistic native level to evaluate or assess the candidates. The work behavior doesn't look serious, professional or providing a stable long term job. The pay is very low having in mind they are looking for skillful and high quality linguists...

Pros

relatively well-paid there are some truly good people in the lower ranks who work their socks off

Cons

Workload too big Management don't listen and only want to drive sales terrible benefits - no overtime pay, no bonus, no maternity pay other than legal minimum etc 2 tier culture - management are valued a lot more than the lower ranks high staff turnover progression near impossible unless you are the one who shouts the loudest people in UK replaced with people in Romania
