SENIOR IN-HOUSE TRANSLATOR - MADRID
Pros: I learned so much, the job was like a Master's degree program. Our work was valued and very technical. They fired the entire team to surpass budget and distribute more cash among the partners.
Cons: EY Spain no longer values cutting-edge (or even native) translation; they consider themselves "bilingual" thanks to a few years of classes or perhaps a week spent in Ireland. Often their new approach is to bash out their own texts, expecting nothing more than a quick review.  Some of the partners/managers are aware that financial/accounting etc. translation is terribly demanding and requires seasoned professionals, while many more simply do not seem to care, preferring to save the extra cash for themselves.
