Pros

Free food on Tuesday Free beer and snacks on Friday Free Surf lessons

Cons

There's no clear vision of what's the product There's no development lifecycle defined Poor attempt to organize the teams into squads and then cluster, but based on no mission for each group, no clear development framework. R&D is driven by academic researchers Engines are put into production with proper testing Managers are more interested in going in conferences that actually solve real business cases. The added value of the product is minimal, when clients will understand that they will get better quality results and speed by integrating their tools with Google Translate or Amazon for example, this company will die litteraly. They survive thanks to their marketing. Expect big churn in the coming year.

Pros

One of the best things about working for Unbabel is the accessibility of the project managers. They are always great at answering any questions and clearing up any details to make sure you are able to finish your tasks appropriately. The variety of domains also keeps everything fresh. It can be healthcare, IT, e-commerce, or anything else!

Cons

The work flow is unpredictable. Sometimes I can get assignments regularly every week but then I may go through a dry spell of several months before getting another assignment.
