Pros

Good people and fully remote company so no pressure to go into an office.

Cons

Ever since they were acquired by Battery Investments, the company focus has shifted from product excellence to maximizing profits. No regular raises, bonuses or even salary adjustments, even when we are breaking profit records every year.

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify a few important points. Since the acquisition by Battery Investments, we have maintained a consistent practice of annual salary reviews and adjustments across the organization, reflecting both individual performance and company results. While we deeply value the contributions of every team, including Localization, our success and revenue are driven by the collective efforts of multiple functions. We remain committed to fair, competitive compensation and to recognizing the impact of all employees as we continue to grow.

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.
