Pros

- Great People and fun to hang out with - Decent Pay - Awesome perks as Weekly Surfing and Paddling Class. - Interesting Customer Base (Brands and their business) - Great Product Vision. - Some really great folks in the Senior Management Team

Cons

- Blame Game Approach, tendency to blame the client (customer has too high expectation) across different teams as (Support, Operations, Engineering) - Communication between Engineering and Customer Facing one sided (Market to Engineering and not back). - Engineering too absorbed in their own world - bi-directional communication, interaction and delivery is mediocore. - Engineering and Product Management chase the market rather than being ahead of the game (market). Very bug focused rather then driving the product forward towards the market needs. - Meetings and Escalations often involve tons of people, with few doing the heavy lifting and contributing towards a progress. (Almost like being at a multinational while it is a Startup in transition to a Scale Up)

Pros

One of the best things about working for Unbabel is the accessibility of the project managers. They are always great at answering any questions and clearing up any details to make sure you are able to finish your tasks appropriately. The variety of domains also keeps everything fresh. It can be healthcare, IT, e-commerce, or anything else!

Cons

The work flow is unpredictable. Sometimes I can get assignments regularly every week but then I may go through a dry spell of several months before getting another assignment.
