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.

Pros

The company genuinely follows its stated values rather than treating them as just words on a slide. Incredible group of employees. Collaborative, supportive, and some of the most talented people I’ve worked with. Truly some of the best people I've ever met. Strong opportunities for growth, cross-team visibility, and recognition for good work. Leadership is accessible and personable, with a real effort to stay connected to what individual contributors are working on day-to-day. Flexible, people-first culture that encourages balance and respects employees’ lives outside of work. Clear investment in employee development through internal mobility and learning opportunities.

Cons

Leadership diversity could be stronger. It’s something the company is actively working on, which is encouraging, but there is still progress to be made. Like many growing companies, some teams are stretched thin, which can lead to heavy workloads and competing priorities at times.
