Pros

-Localize will purchase any equipment you need for your home office including brand new laptop, monitor, etc. -The entire company is fully remote.

Kontras

-Still very much a startup - no HR team -Offers 6 paid holidays which is unheard of -No maternity or paternity leave -Employees live in different states, so sick time policy differs for every employee -Requires employees to use sick time / PTO for any doctors appts or to bring children to/from school -Poor leadership with closed culture I had a few unfortunate and inappropriate experiences with the CEO which demonstrated his lack of experience managing employees. 1) 2nd week of employment, I received numerous accusatory Slack messages from the CEO at 9:30 PM. I suggested we speak the next day on Zoom as it's difficult to understand tone on Slack. He ignored the message and kept typing. 2) When I resigned I explained that I had numerous doctors appointments and would require reasonable accommodations in the upcoming months, so I did not think the culture was a fit. I thanked them for my time and expressed how much I admire their product / company. I did not receive an email response to my resignation or even an email back asking what the accommodations would be if I stayed or if everything was okay. Instead, the CEO wrote an email to the entire company stating that I "did not want to work a full 8 hour work day" which was 100% false & offensive considering I stated that I had a health issue. Employees were aware of my reason for leaving, so they knew the CEO's email was dishonest. 3) Turnover - another person resigned without notice right before I did and a 3rd person resigned without notice right after I did.

We're sorry the 4 weeks you worked at Localize did not live up to your expectations. Working for a fast-paced, growth stage start-up can be demanding, and admittedly it's not a good fit for everyone. We work very hard to ensure good culture fit during the hiring process and to maintain a positive culture for everyone on our close knit team. Despite the number of conversations we had around your specific situation, we regret that you felt the need to resign and we truly wish you all the best in your future endeavors. For others reading this post, Localize strives to offer a comprehensive benefits packages. As of this writing all employees receive: *100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance beginning on 1st of the month after your start date; *100% company-paid $50k life insurance policy; *401(k) plan with 4% matching; *16 accrued vacation days, 3 sick days, and 10 paid holidays per year (not 6) *New PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other hardware/accessories you need to set up a productive remote working environment; *Monthly stipend for home internet; *$1,000 / yr of reimbursed expenses for continued education, conferences, or related.

Pros

Joining a new company is never easy. There is a lot to learn and a lot of new people to build relationships with. At Localize it felt easy. From day one the culture shines through across the entire company. Everyone from senior management on down will go out of their way to help you. It doesn't matter what your role is. There is a culture of collaboration here that I have never seen in my career. Everyone puts the customer first and is willing to put in face time with them on calls. I've read other reviews on Glassdoor and am very confused by some of the comments. The senior management here cares about every individual working at the company. They are involved, passionate, and carry the weight of wanting to create a lasting business that often gets overlooked. The benefits are also exceptional for a company of our size. The health, vision, dental premiums are excellent. We offer a 401k with a 4% match, home internet is paid for, and we get to have the entire company meet up in person with nice accommodations and great food every year. It's so refreshing to be a part of an organization that cares about improving results while taking care of it's employees at the same time.

We are a small team and work quickly. Things change on the fly and if you are not comfortable embracing change and testing new things you will likely feel stressed out. We are a small team. Career growth is more about what you are able to build and achieve than it is about titles.

Pros

The team. Literally nothing else.

Kontras

Micromanagement is a big part of the culture, DAILY stand up where you have to say what you are doing for the day and not in a supportive way but just to check a box for leadership bc of the micromanagement, no autonomy for employees, decisions made top down which slows things down, teams constantly second guessed even when they are the experts, priorities changing a lot and not always clear, favoritism affecting how people are treated, no safety to push back or speak up, morale taking a hit because of leadership, and turnover that should really be a wake up call, but truly they will never look in the mirror and realize it isn't a people problem, its a leader problem. Seriously read the most recent 1 star reviews. They speak the truth.
