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

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)
