      Completely unprofessional - ghosted after completing an UNPAID test

      Linguist

      Pros

      Not applicable to my situation

      Cons

      My experience as Linguist with Questel never started, since I was ghosted. After passing the first 15-minutes generic interview with HR, they asked me to complete a short test - around 150 words of proofreading and 200 of translation. After submitting it, I never heard from the HR representative again. It has been a month already. Mind you, I usually never complain if I get ghosted after an interview - even though it is not fair, that is how the job market works nowadays. However, after completing a job FOR FREE, I would at least expect a "Thank you, but you were not selected." Communication consisted of cold two-line emails, with no greetings or formalities. When I called the office, after not hearing back from HR for weeks, they ensured someone would get in touch. It never happened. Plus, if you decide to start interviewing people mid-July, you cannot use August holidays as an excuse. I would definitely not recommend Questel to other linguists.

      AVOID IF YOU VALUE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

      English linguist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Remote working was offered including equipment HR team is brilliant and incredibly helpful

      Cons

      Some extremely difficult people to work with including the head of the English Team and one of the line managers. Management failed me multiple times. They singled me out for not having a MA in translation yet were the ones that hired me in the first place. You will be left mostly on your own with no help offered. When I asked for help and pointed out that I felt that some of the feedback was unfair I was treated completely different and was pushed out of the company. If you value your personal life and mental health, DO NOT go and work for these people. They were extremely unprofessional and bullied me in the workplace. The probationreviews were not objective and only focused on the negative. I was called a liar multiole times during my time at this establishment eventhoughi was just following instructionsfrom my lime manager. Please please avoid this place. The pay was terrible. Do not hesitate to go to HR if in this situation since I found them to be extremely helpful and understanding. I was extremely unhappy in this establishment and my passion for translation was robbed from me.
