Not what I was expecting!

Pros

Love my colleagues - we are very collaborative and supportive. Great health benefits available if you are willing to pay a good chunk of money. Good work/life balance.

Cons

When I got hired, it seemed as though upper management was very involved on at least a weekly or monthly basis, but they are VERY far removed from the day-to-day functions of the business and seem to be very unsure of the direction they want to take the company. It seems as though they would like to migrate from a strictly operations run company to more of a sales driven organization, but they have no idea how to do that. After 20 years, they still don't seem to know who they want to be and how to go about it, which causes the employees to suffer. The organizational structure of the company is also very confusing - no one seems to have a grasp on exactly what their role is. In December, 2017, Smith (CEO)'s message to all employees in a Town Hall Meeting were to "stay the course" in 2018. No big changes, let's just expand on the great things we are doing. January 1, they change the compensation plan for salespeople (which definitely did NOT favor the employee), and in April, they completely shifted the management of the mostly new NABU sales team. There are red flags all over the place at this company and being owned by a Private Equity Firm who doesn't understand the industry is not positively impacting the company or it's employees.

Pros

Project Managers are devoted, knowledgeable, and hardworking, they are always willing to lend a helping hand! The company has free snacks, coffee and monthly birthday cakes.

Cons

At Welocalize, employees are merely a number, do not expect to be acknowledged for your talents and hard work. There is a major disconnection between work-life balance. As a project manager, expect to work 50-60 hours weekly and you'll be lucky if you get to take a lunch! There is no OT compensation for the project manager position because it is salary based. The company claims to have "global coverage" but in reality, employees are forced to juggle the workload of two different timezones at no additional incentives. This place is like quicksand, the workload will eat you alive. You basically have to devote your entire professional and personal life to the company. In doing so, you will get very little, if any, recognition/appreciation. Decisions of who gets promoted/raises are filled with major biases. Having an opinion and questioning processes doesn't sit well with management.

Pros

The flexible schedule is great! If you’re someone that has a busy life, but needs a job, try this one. They offer a higher hour cap often, as well as incentives. There are also opportunities to work on additional projects, which can be interesting and even fun.

Cons

The entrance exams almost makes the company feel like a scam. They require full job training and can take weeks to complete before you’re offered. All of this is unpaid! Not to mention, the test is outdated. So sometimes even if you get the right answer, it’s still flagged as wrong.
