Pros

I was on assignment as a Language Engineer through WeLocalize for approx. 2 years (including maternity leave time). As this was contracting work, most of my communication with the company was for administrative purposes, and with anything I needed, the WeLocalize team was always both very nice and efficient in their responses. Such admin issues included for example overtime approval, sick time, maternity leave details and extension and so forth. Compared with other agencies, WeLocalize are able to offer some benefits (though admittedly I did not use them), and even threw us an offsite.

Cons

The work is still contracting, which has its downsides, but this is of course a generalization about the whole field. For the type of work it is, WeLocalize were a very decent and professional company to work through, and the people I interacted with were always kind, informative and efficient.

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)
