Pros

Management was supportive; atmosphere is collaborative. Strong MT and Solutions teams. Many bright people.

Cons

Systems and technology are surprisingly archaic. You will become close bedfellows with Excel :) As a Project Manager you must simply figure out how to organize and thrive with your wits - as there is little or no automation or operational levers built into the working systems. When pitching services and offerings to the client, you will quickly realize how few proprietary solutions Welocalize has to offer. Those that exist cannot hold a candle to the competition out of the box. Lets use gaming as an analogy: Welocalize caters to the the modern PC owners and their competitors cater to the gaming console community. While PC's can vastly outperform the consoles with the proper investment and time, a console provides a tidy solution right out of the box. As localization consultants who can only point our customers in the direction of the competition for technology and systems - Welocalize lacks a sticky corporate identity.

Pros

Very flexible schedule, and the work is pretty easy.

Cons

They will cut you whenever they do not need you anymore. Barely give any raises. Super weird work environment. Not a place for a career.

Pros

Flexible WFH policy and line managers are very accessible.

Cons

Outdated maze-like system of disjointed platforms and messaging mediums used to manage documentation, metadata and customer data. An obstacle to PMs, BDMs and Customer's alike. No proprietary tools or structures to manage scheduling, actuation and milestone execution. No clearly delineated quality management (QMS) roles, responsibilities or ownership. Workforce inflation and reduction is cyclical and unfortunately predictable (1-2 years is the common retention rate)
