Pros

Wonderful people who are passionate about all the languages of the world (over 7,000). There is much freedom to determine just how you will fit in and do your work. Encouraged to benefit the community where you work and inspire others. Challenging and important software development in language tools and use in research.

Cons

Must raise your own support. Projects often take years to complete. Can be difficult to get feedback on results.

Great vision and dedicated workforce

Business Outlook

Pros

The vision to serve minority language communities around the world with language-related services is excellent. They use a holistic approach and the voice of each employee is appreciated. Everyone is highly motivated ad many have advanced degrees.

Cons

The company as a whole is financially dependent on its members, who raise their own financial support, and on other organizations to raise SIL project funds. A grass-roots ethos and strong partnerships with these other organizations has made this possible, but differences in vision and strategies among the members and the partner organizations make giving leadership a challenge.
