Pros

Management was supportive; atmosphere is collaborative. Strong MT and Solutions teams. Many bright people.

Cons

Systems and technology are surprisingly archaic. You will become close bedfellows with Excel :) As a Project Manager you must simply figure out how to organize and thrive with your wits - as there is little or no automation or operational levers built into the working systems. When pitching services and offerings to the client, you will quickly realize how few proprietary solutions Welocalize has to offer. Those that exist cannot hold a candle to the competition out of the box. Lets use gaming as an analogy: Welocalize caters to the the modern PC owners and their competitors cater to the gaming console community. While PC's can vastly outperform the consoles with the proper investment and time, a console provides a tidy solution right out of the box. As localization consultants who can only point our customers in the direction of the competition for technology and systems - Welocalize lacks a sticky corporate identity.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
