Pros

Atmosphere of learning and advancement. Team-oriented. Advancement opportunities. Flexible workspace and hours.

Internal communication takes more time than necessary and projects get delayed. Processes are muddy and workflows aren't clear. Management is removed from what is happening with PMs and other team members.

Best experience in Localization in 10+ years

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.

Great company but understand that uncertainty is part of the job

Anonymous employee

Pros

I enjoy the work-life balance at this company. For example, if you need to leave come in late or leave early to go to an appointment, you can finish a project up that night. Employees use this perk all the time to pick up kids from school or workout between stressful projects. I also work on projects that I truly enjoy and work with awesome coworkers around the world!

Cons

Not really a con unless you are not used to a technology company. There are shifting priorities because clients change their minds and translators change their minds too! Employees need to be used to shifting priorities. Employees also need to know what their role is and know who to delegate the work to when a requester asks for something not in their job role. Again not a con, employees just need to own their role and ask for help if they feel overburdened!
