Pros

- Good compensation - Flexible PTO - Decent benefits and insurance packages - Fully stocked kitchen, and if you're a coffee person, consider yourself SET - Friendly co-workers - Central office location, lots of restaurants/bars around

Cons

The culture is a bit lacking. The teams themselves get along pretty well, but company-wide there doesn't seem to be an emphasis on getting to know people across departments. It's up to the individual, which is fine. Communication is sometimes poor. Many updates to the product are launched without the necessary people being aware, which can be challenging. We've at least started working on this... And the product...it certainly is powerful...and while good in many ways, there's still a lot of work to be done to make it more user-friendly.

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.
