Pros

Smartling has built a great platform with amazing features and functionality. The core ingredients (people, opportunity, technology) should all add up to a successful business.

Cons

Management is delusional. The CEO takes no responsibility for his actions while blaming everyone else in the company for the current state of affairs. The truth is he is not equipped to lead Smartling any further than he already has. It's pure hubris that keeps him in his current role when stepping aside for someone more competent would benefit everyone (including him!).

Pros

I am extremely impressed with Smartling's leadership, staff, product, and the culture that's in place. What a joy to work here!! Smartling is growing so rapidly and is the clear leader in the Translation Management System technology and LLM/AI powered translation space.

Cons

Can't think of any cons right now.

Pros

Amazing product market fit considering how AI is changing the localization world. AI is mandate for every employee at the company and leadership has given us the tools to adopt it an astronomical pace. This is not something that is micro managed and employees have full autonomy to build and present to their colleagues. Selling at Smartling means working with the biggest companies in the world. In most cases it isn't transactional but once a company sees the value Smartling brings to the table it's hard for them to choose a competitor.

Cons

Very few but managing so many projects with AI at once takes a lot of focus. I wouldn't have it any other way.
