Pros

Snacks. All the soda you can drink and sometimes lunch. And there's a cool secret room to go in, too. CEO is very busy but if/when you can get his time he's a smart man to learn from and it's clear he wants to enable company growth. The product itself is fantastic, so it's easy to believe in what you do. The company name is also well recognized, which says something as translation is a VERY fragmented market.

Cons

Negative attitudes among some colleagues who can be a little entitled. Take the reviewer who said she cried in the bathroom as an example. That's her issue with needing to put on her big girl panties and get to work instead of anything the company did wrong. For those who are willing to work hard though, this is a great place to be.

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.
