Pros

Flexible work environment and remote-friendly culture. Good compensation

Cons

Many core developers have left, leading to a loss of technical knowledge. Significant legacy systems remain, which are difficult to maintain and modernize. The overall experience largely depends on the specific team, some are well-run, others less so. In some roles, you might end up working mostly in a support capacity, resolving tickets rather than doing meaningful development. This is the second acquisition of the company, and the long-term direction remains unclear.

Pros

Transifex has an established business from years of work on our TMS for localization, but is also leading the industry in innovation for use of AI. It's exciting to get to work somewhere with this continuous innovation. The team is large enough that you're not on your own, but also small enough that you can have a real impact. It's a remote first company and I like working from home, getting to skip the commute. The culture is also great with some of the most supportive, helpful coworkers I've ever had.

Cons

Almost all regular company communication is done over Slack. It can be a great tool for a remote first company, but with so many messages on so many channels, it can be challenging to go back and find information after you initially have read it.
