Pros
My team-mates were uniformly excellent. They were all great at banding together to “do the necessary” as our Mumbai colleagues liked to say. It’s also a great place to learn all the ins and outs of the localization business from one of the giants in the industry.
Cons
The tech stack is old and in desperate need of replacement, but it keeps getting patched rather than being thrown out. All the “simplification” efforts are doing nothing but taking work off of one team’s plate and passing it to another team’s plate. They (and the tech stack in general) require complex training, which seems to be the opposite of what “simplification” should involve. And none of the simplification efforts apply to production teams working in third-party systems as required by clients.
