Pros

Great colleagues and good sense of team spirit. Everyone is passionate about what they do and always willing to help.

Cons

Huge dip in the morale and employee satisfaction recently. Leadership have the wrong attitude and are sweeping complaints under the rug. Colleagues leaving for companies that treat their employees better

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.
