Pros

There were some 7 years ago but I cannot find any at this moment of time. Everything is too late.

Cons

Merging SDL was a complete failure. Company value has dropped to 1/10 since the peak in 2020. Management cannot handle technology business, and had killed most of the good products they have simply by mishandling sales strategy and poor resource management. Look at the PL - the company is pretending to generate profit solely by cutting cost (which is all human resource) and business itself is not growing at all. Until now there is no sales training provided to any business unit (just some cheap nonsence e-training only), no information shared to any sales in the field of how the company differentiate from competitors, R&D cost for tech products is slashed, just adding stupid AI (Third party) to SDL legacy products but no clients find any value to it, noone takes care of existing clients, none of the management tries to put focus in APAC while EMEA is performing terrible (just because management are all no-brainers) The new CEO screams like crazy to uplift each sales' quota without providing enough technical resource, simply proving he has no undrstanding of the business at all. How do you incrase sales from cutting both sales and technical resource ????? Company boasts that they are an "AI" company, but there is no AI developed by the company that reaches any successful/satisfactory quality level as their strong MT competitors do. Quality of Language Weaver (home grown machine translation) generic engine is simply a joke. "Evolve" (integrated localization service of Machine+human translation) has failed miserably as written in their April 2025 media release which means nowhere in the company has any chance to grow, and the management is just thinking about where to sell the company. The company will not remain next year as it is today.

Pros

Decent paying side job, flexible hours

Cons

Absolute nightmare to get paid. You WILL have to complain in order to get paid, and you will most likely have to complain more than once in order to get the answer you need. I still haven't been paid for work done months ago! Everyone that reads this with a similar issue needs to do what I did and bring it to the attention of the state labor boards.
