Welocalize reviews

Disorganization and lack of leadership in the company creates problems with remote offices. For a small company, the separation of senior management and staff is more like a large, impersonal company. Career paths are not large. Employees working 60+ hours a week is not unusual, and is of no concern to the management. Being highly focused on cost-cutting, the company reduces quality of life of employees, and risks relationships with clients.

Do not, I warn you, do NOT agree to work for them as a contractor! I consider myself very unlucky, in that I work through them for Apple and find myself in some sort unsavory arrangement between the two of them to be kept as a 'Permatemp.' Surely everyone has heard that term by now? I have been with Apple for three years with no benefits, and though Welocalize makes a mint off me for my efforts, Apple simply writes that off as a tax deduction. So everyone wins! Oh yeah, except me of course. I want to remind everyone involved that Microsoft was sued $100 million by its Permatemps, and unless Apple and the sleazy agencies it works with want a similar action to take place, I would really suggest they start cleaning their act up a tad. As for myself, I think some folk at non-profits make more than I do, so it's not as though I would be terribly put out if they were to let me go. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention the most important part, that they now owe me 2 week's pay. I haven't heard a peep out of them, so I guess their contractors are expected to work for free now. Welocalize, you're the best!
