Pros

There are no pros here.

Cons

The NY office is toxic. The people there are miserable and the only ones who stay are those in revel in making others as miserable as them - everyone else quits. Beyond that, the level of incompetence, immorality, and highly unethical translation practices they engage in are soul-crushing. I would say no amount of money is worth working in an environment like that of TransPerfect, but they don't even pay well (one of the lowest Project Manager salaries in NYC, actually). I would recommend avoiding this company at all costs, both as a client and as a potential worker.

Avoid, Avoid - Discrimination and Retaliation

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They let you work from home sometimes, depending on your job.

Cons

Serious problem with discrimination and management playing god. My boss' boss asked me to work on a project for him, so my boss felt threatened, and screamed at me. Literally. Then gave me projects I was never hired to do, with an impossible timeline, specifically redesign their new learning management system in a month's time. Threatening my job if it wasn't done on that date. When we met online, and I was ready to show him it was done, he called HR on and fired me. I was the only female in my entire department. HR was a joke. They don't even answer their phones when you're trying to tell them you've been discriminated and retaliated against.
