Pros

Professional atmosphere, serious products. Excellent infrastructure. Benefits go beyond what is minimally required by the law. Savings plan, grocery card, if you wish you can find stability here. Work/Life balance is pretty decent. Talented and highly educated IT and sales personnel.

Cons

Old technology stack. Nepotism: a relative of a manager was hired for the translation department, despite the fact that the relative didn't even know basic English or basic computer skills. Disregard for innovation and latest trends. The translation/localization department in Puebla lacks leadership, which reflects in the questionable quality of the translated/localized products. When I was hired, I was "conditioned" to receive a lower salary because I didn't have college education. Limited growth opportunities. You can just be "translator junior" or "translator senior", which is the same really.

Could be great, but falls short

Pros

Nice new office, some dedicated employees, and decent benefits.

Cons

Very cliquey! Promotions given to those who least deserve them. Some departments seem really happy while others lack the leadership to make their teams great. Some managers yell a lot and/or are bullies who want things their way only and do not want to listen to the team. In these teams the environment becomes toxic.

No Advancement

Pros

Great company. Forward thinking. Very satisfying working in higher education. Co workers are wonderful. Benefits are good (but not great). The work is challenging and rewarding.

Cons

No career advancement. Promotions are very rare and difficult to come by. Raises are small. If you join, be prepared to stay in the same position. Rather than being promoted, you will just be required to take on more work. They do not promote from within.
