Largest translation agencies in the world

The best source for global statistics on the translation industry is the website of Common Sense Advisory. The most interesting data are paywalled, but the site is still worth a visit.
Below is the list taken from Common Sense Advisory of the largest translation agencies in 2022.

I have worked for eight of these companies and my experience is mixed. They can be good clients and offer large volumes, but they don’t necessarily pay good rates and may be disorganised and burden you with internal bureaucracy. In any case, a novice translator should not be dazzled by the supposed “glamour” of working for one of the largest agencies and should always be ready to defend their interests.
