French term or phrase: Travaillez à deux
Vous travaillez à deux, en France et en Espagne, quels en sont les avantages et les inconvénients?
Il n'y a pas d'inconvénient, c'est un énorme avantage de travailler à deux. L'approche et la compréhension du projet sont plus précises. Le rapport avec le commanditaire est plus naturel, moins formel.

I mean, I'm not sure about the context: who's talking to whom? Is it an interview or a monologue?
