Great company with typical downsides of the language industry - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Fasttranslator: Mitarbeiterbewertung

nice colleagues, ability to affect company decisions, transparent

unstable market, some information could be divulged earlier

- Colleagues are very friendly and helpful - New office, with good air and light - "Frustration free" it-systems - Office is close to train station - Fun business (Fast paced translation trading and sales to B2B/B2C.) - 4 day week can be possible - Home Log-in is easy an possible (but not necessarily paid)

- What you see is not what you get (You might be promised sales commissions/travel cost allowance etc. in the job interview, but those do not necessarily come back on the actual contract that you get.) - The first contract is an agency contract with no end date and it can be terminate on the spot (They can and do fire people quickly based on "you are no match to us"-feeling) - Workload fluctuates (Customer contacts in a small team fluctuate a lot. Job quantity can double or triple depending on the weekday and the nr. of reps available.) - Little reciprocity (The management expects high quality and fast pace, independently of the workload or the complexity of the cases at hand.) - No structured feedback process for the newcomers (no scheduled 1 to 1 meetings/"swim or sink mentality") - Very repetitive callcenter-style job
