Pros

Company is doing top-notch technology in localization industry; training team and project management team is good enough to provide lots of support to new hires; summer Fridays are offered with flexible paid/non-paid days off as long as you can figured your coverage out; employees are nice; cross-functional teams are supportive; work are challenging and projects are fun

Cons

Senior management is not listening to the middle management/entry level teams and act like they know everything of what is going on; typical agency culture where what matters the most is cutting corners, pressing vendors and being cheap; systems are old but not updating fast enough with the cutting-edge technology; Sales are being praised but who did the most job: project managers and engineers are greatly devalued.

Pros

-Little micromanaging -ability to work with clients and colleagues globally -Great technology to sell -Global locations and production centers -Great marketing materials to leverage -Opportunity to travel -Ability to work with large corporations -Accruing PTO days

Cons

-No lead disbursement structure. Management takes any large incoming leads for themselves. -If you do get a lead they're usually a waste of time. -Extremely low pay for one of the toughest sales positions. -No account base, and you're in a draw. Meaning you have to pay your salary back before you make commissions. By the time you establish an account base (3+ years) you'll be so deep in your draw that you won't see any commissions for 8-10 months. -Competitors pay base + commissions + bonuses, so I recommend going elsewhere, don't waste your time here -VERY competitive market. Hundreds of other providers out there -Two different CRMs, so reps call each other's leads/clients all the time -CEO's are in litigation and are spending millions on legal fees. They could care less about their suffering underpaid employees -You're required to do your own collections. Most clients don't pay on time. -You don't get "commissions" until the clients pay. While you wait for payment, you fall deeper into your draw -No consistent training -Morale seems to be low in production. They're overworked and underpaid -Extremely long sales cycle
