Pros

Belinda is a sweetheart and colleages are generally nice. It's probably OK for a first AAA game experience.

Cons

Organisation is a disaster, testers are often left out of management info and they're late communicating important things. The NDA is extremely abusive and the pay (mostly if you are Spanish) is piss poor. You're not allowed to put on your resume the titles you've worked on even if the game is already out in the market, which hinders your possibilities to be hired by other companies. Be careful as clients have the power to cut the projects short and the company won't help relocate you in another project or anything whatsoever. If you have to go to the doctor (or have something important to do) they will force you to do overtime (even if there's nothing to do) just to please the client, as they hire per hour, which I'm not sure is legal at all. Also, if you get sick you'll just get fired and be replaced immediately.

Pros

New translators without any previous experience get hired to work on their biggest game client projects, allowing you to gain valuable experience in the sector.

Cons

Although Randall Mage, the CEO pretends to be a champion of translator rights, it is actually his policy to gatekeep his workers and never credit translators on games projects, only mentioning the company name.
