Welocalize reviews

All they want at this place is warm bodies to click mouse buttons. The "tester" jobs do not involve any actual testing; the work is more accurately described as data annotation. Zero vacation time. Zero sick days (paid sick time is accrued at a rate of one hour per 30 hours worked). You qualify for insurance after 30 days. If you try to go above and beyond basic duties or otherwise demonstrate knowledge or skills beyond the scope of your assigned project, you will be threatened with negative performance reviews. You are actively discouraged from trying to excel, and managers have no interest in trying to make the best use of staff's abilities. You will be told that you will be held to strict standards for accuracy, but receive no feedback or coaching to help you ensure that you meet those expectations. If you are proactive in requesting feedback, or ask about the possibility of further coaching, you will be told not to worry. There is absolutely no sense of respect for anyone. The attitude is very much that any given person is expendable, and the employees here know it. The office atmosphere is simultaneously tense and disinterested. Project leads confess to getting zero management training. They also don't care much, and it shows. This is the kind of place you work while you're desperate to keep bills paid while searching for a better job, and warn your friends to avoid.
