Pros

Diverse, friend staff. Modern work environment.

Cons

As a whole, the work was very monotonous, we were discouraged from and/or reprimanded for conversing with coworkers. Many of the issues I experienced were directly related to the contractual nature of my employment, even though mine was a long-term (minimum three years) contract. The company to which my division was contracted threatened almost daily to pull the plug and put us all out of a job. This even though employees regularly exceeded throughput objects by 150-300%. Projects changed without warning and without instruction or guidelines to work with. On top of this, there was significant turnover and management seemed to have very little say in how the contract employer treated Welocalize employees.

Pros

When there is work available, especially when this project first launched, you could make decent money. The Quality Improvement Program was once realistic and managers were accessible. They used to give us sick leave and it felt like a real job.

Cons

They took away our sick leave. Barely any work since Christmas, around 5 hours per week if you're lucky. The Quality Improvement Program has gone down the toilet. The quality checks constantly contradict the guidelines and the feedback from management is often contradictory and wildly inconsistent depending on the turnover. Lower level employees are constantly afraid of losing their job because there are random firings every quarter with no explanation.
