Challenging and not rewarding place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You don't need to be too skilled to understand the way they work. Some of the departments are still using very old translation tools so whoever worked already in translation agency will feel like an expert.

Cons

Don't expect any pay raise. Prepare to work overtimes because 10 min before you finished your work client sends some super rush request. Chaos. They lure people with private health care but this is really claiming base policy. Not worth thinking of it
