Pros

I am a freelance translator. The assignments offered used to be interesting and reasonably paid, up to two years ago. Not now.

Cons

Assignments are always in a rush, and the rates offered are the worst in the industry. How they can get reasonable quality with their setup is a mystery to me.

Pros

If you're willing to work 100 hours a week, you'll probably get promoted, but you won't necessarily get more money

Cons

Work life balance is horrible - they are the biggest churn and burn company out there Phil hires his friends, so realize that he'll promote them before you Liz is an awkward, socially inept perfectionist - she will bite you Their game plan / MO is to keep hiring college graduates, making them work 80+ hours a week, get all they can from them, then treat them like crap and underpay them so they quit, then just hire again!

Pros

Great learning experience for those who would like to stick to the localization world.

Cons

Beware that if you have Flexible spending account with the company, you will not have access to your funds once your employment is terminated. Use the whole amount, should you think of resignation.
