Pros

I work remotely, I am part of the sales team. If you are someone who can work of their own initiative this company is for you. They give you a lot of room to breath and be creative. Unlike other companies, as long as you are doing your job, nobody is breathing down your neck. Everyone is very friendly and professional. CEO is great!

Cons

I haven't found any, all is good.

Pros

It seems difficult to identify any pros of working at this company. I would say one would learn resilience and strength to deal with difficult work environments.

Cons

I had an unsatisfactory and less-than-pleasant experience with Translit. My time here was marred by several factors that hindered my professional growth and left me feeling undervalued and unsupported. I feel it is important to share my honest feedback to provide potential candidates with a clearer picture of what to expect. From the beginning, I noticed significant discrepancies between the job description and the actual responsibilities I was assigned. This lack of alignment was confusing and disheartening, as it led to a mismatch of expectations and left me feeling unsure about my role within the organization. Moreover, the absence of any training or guidance further exacerbated the situation. I was hopeful that the company would invest in my professional development, but I was disappointed to find that no structured training program existed. In addition, the company relied on outdated software and tools, which severely limited my ability to acquire new skills and knowledge. As a result, I found myself having to rely on self-teaching methods, which only provided me with a limited understanding of the industry and failed to enhance my market value. The company's reluctance to invest in modern tools and technologies demonstrates a lack of commitment to keeping up with current market standards. One of the most disheartening aspects of my time with the company was the apparent lack of recognition for my hard work and accomplishments. Despite putting forth my best efforts, I felt that my contributions were overlooked or undervalued by the management. This lack of appreciation adversely affected my motivation and overall job satisfaction. Regrettably, I also sensed a potential bias towards gender within the workplace. While I cannot definitively prove this claim, there were instances where I felt my treatment was influenced by my gender. The company's apparent sexism or patriarchal tendencies were deeply troubling and created an atmosphere of inequality. Furthermore, the company's compensation package was well below industry standards. It was disheartening to learn that even the lowest-paying positions in the market could offer better compensation than what was provided. This inadequate remuneration added to my overall dissatisfaction and made it difficult to justify the time and effort invested in the role. The lack of additional employee benefits further underscored the company's limited commitment to the well-being of its staff. Lastly, I feel compelled to mention a questionable practice at the Translit. The company appeared to pressure interns into leaving positive reviews about the organization in exchange for experience certificates. This practice undermines the authenticity and integrity of employee reviews on platforms like Glassdoor, making it difficult for prospective candidates to make informed decisions about the company. Overall, my time at this company has left me questioning my own capabilities and doubting my self-confidence. While the outward appearance of the company may seem pleasant, it became evident that the management's attitude towards its employees was anything but supportive. The lack of growth opportunities, inadequate training, low compensation, and absence of additional benefits paint a picture of an organization that fails to prioritize its employees' well-being and professional development. In conclusion, my time at this company was marked by unmet expectations, limited training opportunities, inadequate compensation, and a potentially biased work environment. I would caution others, especially women, against joining this company, as it appears to harbour sexist or patriarchal tendencies and does not adequately appreciate the skills and contributions of its workforce.

It's disappointing to see that fake, anonymous, AI-generated reviews are used to reduce the Glassdoor rating of our company. We have no evidence whether this was done by a competitor or someone else. This is yet to be determined. OFFICIAL STATEMENT: All points raised in the review are false and defamatory. Translit is an equal opportunities employer and does not discriminate against our staff. Translit empowers women in leadership roles and embraces diversity. Our female-to-male ratio is 80% to 20%. The roles of Head of Interpreting, Head of Operations, Head of Quality, Head of Training, Head of Procurement, Head of Project Management, and Accountant are taken by our smart, talented female colleagues who have been with the company for 4, 6, 9, 11, 13 years. Translit continuously fights for better pay for our staff and freelancers. This has been recognized in the media too: https://www.corkindependent.com/2022/12/07/better-pay-for-interpreters-called-for/ https://www.echolive.ie/business/arid-41027486.html https://multilingual.com/better-pay-means-better-quality-of-interpreting-in-ireland-in-2023/#:~:text=Ireland%2Dbased%20language%20specialists%20Translit,changing%20face%20of%20Irish%20society. One of Translit's values is Continuous Improvement. We welcome staff who are open to education, training, and love learning and improving upon existing skills. Upskilling is in the culture of Translit. Translit gives career opportunities to students and young individuals with no formal qualifications through close collaboration with universities under the Erasmus Program. We take students on various internship programs and train them into becoming confident and ready-for-the-big-world professionals. A quarter of our existing team today are previous Translit interns who completed their work placement and were offered a job. Many of our interns received job offers from big companies like Amazon, LinkedIn securing their next career move. We are proud to say that Translit has enabled growth for over 100 students in the past 14 years. CLOSING REMARKS: Translit has been in business for over 14 years. We are not perfect. We innovate and keep improving all our processes, including HR. Making false, fake statements like this is an offence under Irish law. This is not acceptable, and we will take necessary action to report this. FINALLY, CHERRY ON TOP: ChatGPT suggests this review was AI-generated. The person was too lazy to type the fake text themselves and used AI to come up with a negative review. These are factors that suggest that this text has been generated by an AI language model: A) Consistency: The review maintains a consistent tone and structure throughout, without any indications of personal anecdotes or emotions that a human might include. B) Lack of specific details: The review provides general statements but lacks specific examples or instances to support its claims. Humans tend to provide more specific details when recounting their experiences. C) Lack of personalization: The review does not include any specific details about the reviewer, such as their role, duration of employment, or specific incidents. This absence of personalization is a common characteristic of AI-generated texts. D) Use of generic phrases: The review uses phrases and language that are commonly found in generic negative reviews, without offering unique insights or perspectives. E) The text is well-written and free of grammatical errors.
