Pros

Diverse, friend staff. Modern work environment.

Cons

As a whole, the work was very monotonous, we were discouraged from and/or reprimanded for conversing with coworkers. Many of the issues I experienced were directly related to the contractual nature of my employment, even though mine was a long-term (minimum three years) contract. The company to which my division was contracted threatened almost daily to pull the plug and put us all out of a job. This even though employees regularly exceeded throughput objects by 150-300%. Projects changed without warning and without instruction or guidelines to work with. On top of this, there was significant turnover and management seemed to have very little say in how the contract employer treated Welocalize employees.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
