Pros

Gain experience in the industry in a very demanding position.

Cons

Management is mediocre. When it comes to upper management, there is a clear disconnect between them and their global offices. But in terms of middle management, the situation is critical. Leadership is non existent, communication is unclear and devious, there is indifference towards the well-being of employees, goals are unreasonable and work ethic is questionable. They count with devoted and hard working talent, but fail recognizing this and the role that their teams play in the overall success of the company. Due to this failure, and the inability to accurately convey the reality of our needs to upper management, talent has been compelled to leave in great numbers and I wouldn't be surprised if the office will close soon.

Pros

I've held various roles at five localization vendors over the past 12 years. Welocalize is far and away the best I've experienced. It's a sincere, loyal company that knows who they are and where they are going. Company leadership communicates the mission, vision and values for the company very clearly and expects every employee from the top down to understand them and live them out on a daily basis. In my experience, the company and my manager have been loyal and fair. I feel appreciated and valued and see plenty of advancement opportunities for myself and my peers. My work-life balance is great. I'm part of a fantastic team. I genuinely love working here.

Cons

Of course, no company is perfect. There will always be layoffs, bad decisions, people who don't play nicely with others, etc. People are human. But in each of these situations, I can see where Welocalize leadership makes the best decisions they can that will do the most good not just for the bottom line, but for the staff as well.

Pros

I can learn from my negative experiences.

Cons

1. No employee appreciation. No growth. For those who have ambition and who want to achieve something, please pay attention, this company is not the right place for you. 2. Upper managers do not care about you! Use you as a cheap labor and do not care how you feel. 3. Managers feel like they are higher than you. Communications never come from both ways. 4. Flawed HR system. Managers can control the your future development by his/her own opinion. Subjective performance review system. Review only comes from managers to employee. There is no way for employees to give suggestions/review to managers. *Clearly, they don't care about what do you think. * 5. Very high employee turnover rate. Something is wrong. I will not recommend this place.
