Pros

The work is easy once you get the hang of it

Cons

I never write reviews for anything, but I feel compelled to warn people who are looking at this company as an option. KEEP LOOKING. Only accept a job here if you’d like to be overworked and underpaid. You’ll be expected to work 50-60 hours a week with no chance of overtime. There’s very little time off and your weekends are also encroached upon. This place has TERRIBLE work/life balance. Another review about this company correctly identified it as a sweatshop. I almost NEVER leave when I’m supposed to and I barely make enough to live modestly. The “bonuses” that you’ll hear about won’t ever actually make it to your bank account, so don’t count on those to make up for anything. Take my advice and take your talents somewhere where you will be appreciated, developed and compensated fairly.

Thank you, we do value employee feedback. While we recognize workloads at times may be higher than expected, we do take work balance very seriously. Welocalize will continue to work closely with teams to identify ways to promote this balance.

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)
