Pros

The product is SOLID. Great engineering team and on paper, this thing should fly.

Cons

It's driven by people who don't know what they're doing. They are very smart, driven people who don't care about the people who work for them because they think the product sells itself. It doesn't. In fact, the biggest challenge is status quo or getting companies outside of the technology to make the plunge. There was a HIGH amount of turnover from the VP level (VP of Marketing and Sales had short life spans at Smartling) when I was there and it continues to be the case.

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.
