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