Laid back environment Meet people from different cultures Some perks like snacks, coffee, etc. Somewhat flexible schedule

Cons

No paid holidays Treated like contractors, even though employed by WeLocalize Job dependent on clients they contract to, meaning less job stability Inconsistent promotion techniques Some people forced to work in basement with no windows, poor ventilation, and bad smells - truly not okay for humans to be down there 8 hours a day

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)
