Accounting - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) SimulTrans

SimulTrans is an excellent company to work for. The management are extremely helpful and proactive in ramping up new employees for success. The best part of working at SimulTrans are the people in the office, everyone has a great attitude and work very well together, even with difficult clients. One thing about working in a small organization, is the recognition and voice you have with management. They are open to new ideas and your input and contributions are valued and rewarded. Overall great experience working at SimulTrans and I can say I have made some life long friends in the company.

The sales CRM could be updated with something more capable. Salesforce or Hubspot CRM come to mind. Also, investment in marketing efforts and more trade shows / networking events to generate more inbound leads for the sales team to capitalize on.

SimulTrans has been around for decades. Similarly, most of the managers have been at SimulTrans for over ten years. Therefore, unlike most localization companies, it had a strong record of stability, that can be gained only through loyal customers and happy employees. I learned so much at SimulTrans! My manager was extremely knowledgeable, and I really felt supported by her and the project and process management tools (based on Lotus Notes, that that company has developed internally and refined over the years, allowing immediate access to project costs, vendors, etc.). No other localization company has such a significant impact on Silicon Valley's localization market, in terms of teaching localization to many people who now lead client-side localization programs throughout the Valley. Silicon Valley is certainly a better place, thanks to SimulTrans. I especially enjoyed my interaction with colleagues in other offices, such as Boston and Dublin, that SimulTrans established long ago. It's an extremely cohesive and supportive company. P.S. As a parent, I was especially thankful for the company's accepting my need to be with my kids, leave the office early, work at home when they were sick, etc.

Some of the sales people are recent college graduates and lack the maturity and skill to stick with it (common problem with millennials' generation). I have heard that more experienced account managers have been hired.
