Pros

Talented, educated and lovely translators and project managers, outstanding IT and HR teams. Possibility of working remotely, private healthcare and pension schemes available. Overtime paid as salary or time-off-in-lieu. Better than most translation companies in the UK. You can learn a great deal and kick-start your career with a reputable company where you will actually get some decent experience.

Cons

Once a small family-run business with strong Nordic values, following the introduction of formal structure and change of MD, the company lost touch with its original values. The senior management make erratic decisions and constantly put out fires, whilst the middle management give orders and often make decisions without consulting project managers or translators. If you want to work hard and get a decent pay without the possibility of advancement, they are a good company to work for, but not if you are hoping to climb the ladder.

Pros

A good opportunity to learn tools, workflows and the ins and outs of day to day work as a translator. Ideal at an early stage in one's career.

Cons

As a linguist, you may find yourself feeling very much like a workhorse that the management do what they can to maximise efficiency from. If what you expected was diverse development opportunities and a wish from management to cater to your personal goals to any extent, you may be quite disappointed.

Pros

- Informal work atmosphere. - Management looks after employees' needs - also beyond the work place for new employees just joining from abroad who need assistance settling in the UK. - Fair pay. - Good office facilities.

Cons

- Limited scope for advancement. - Translators on the "factory floor" not always shown much appreciation and often asked to do overtime/weekend work. - The office is "in the middle of nowhere". Not ideal for potential employees looking to move to the UK. A Southampton city centre location would make this company far more desirable to work for. - The rate offered to the company's freelance suppliers is on the low side.
