RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Smartling full-time (More than a year)
Pros
From a sales oriented perspective, high achievers will do extremely well. Great products for revenue producing and efficiency gain initiatives make Smartling a compelling offering in the market place. Energetic work environment in a state of the art facility in midtown New York.
Cons
Sometimes the pace is really fast. It's not for everyone but if you've been a strong performer selling to international and national enterprises, you will do well here.
Advice to Management
Expand more aggressively into international markets, the formula works, just accelerate into more geographies with a local presence.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Smartling full-time (More than a year)
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 aroundCons
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.Advice to Management
Keep treating your employees well!

Pros
- The office is great with lots of cool meeting rooms
- Unlimited healthy snacks
- Very flexible time off for travel etc
I read all of the past reviews and I think that people were just bitter because they didn't last here or were not good at their jobs.
I've been here for many years and I am very happy here.Cons
Some of the management can be mean but millennials feel so entitled and don't want to work hard. This company tries to give these young people opportunity for growth and all they do is complain.

Pros
People, Product and Mission. The company rewards effort and results, and if you're open minded, you will learn a lot. You are surrounded by a lot of smart people, who are also great people to grab a beer with after hours.
Cons
There are no deal breakers. From an annoyance standpoint the elevators sometimes take a long time. Information flow can be difficult unless you make an effort to go after the info you need.
Advice to Management
Keep rewarding your A players. Invest more in company events and concentrate on culture.

Pros
- Platform is technologically advanced, far ahead of competitors
- Many bright, intelligent, and hard working people
- Office space is awesome
- Snacks are good with options include organic stuff
- Quite an impressive client listCons
- Constant changes to the platform with little to no advance notice causes pain for clients almost weekly
- The platform, as advanced as it is, still needs much improvement
- They say 'unlimited vacation and flexible PTO' but that's nowhere close to reality
- There is a lack of unity across teams, especially when they are in different offices
- Inefficiently run meetings can take up half your dayAdvice to Management
Continue focusing on profitability and seeking ways to cut costs. Boost employee morale.
