Pros

I worked at TransPerfect for about a year. I had no idea what I wanted to do, and I was exposed to a lot of different companies and industries. - You are given a lot of autonomy over your clients. - All of the places I interviewed at to escape TransPerfect were very impressed with my experiences.

Cons

-Severely underpaid for the amount of hours you are expected to work. Very hard to be promoted and earn a decent salary. -Heard reports from younger female employees about being sexually harassed by management at the annual conference. -No work life balance. You are expected to be working around the clock - weekends, holidays, and after hours. Some few examples -My boss made be wake up at 5 am on a Saturday for a client project multiple times. Received an angry email from my boss to respond to a client who had a non urgent request at 10 pm on the Saturday after Christmas. - Even though you are expected be on the clock 24/7 don’t expect to be given a laptop or anything to help you.

Pros

Hard to find some... Ah yes, some really nice coworkers Interesting content to work with

Cons

(New) Unrealistic targets for production teams, project managers overworked all the time, it's disgraceful. Micromanagement is hot here and you need to send a very neat End of Day spreadsheet. Managers should look up the word 'manager' in the dictionary and not roll their eyes when an employee has questions regarding their furlough on Webex. It's basic rude and unprofessional. Team Leads should look up the words 'lead', 'people skills' and 'engage'. I mean, why are you doing what you're doing? Who promoted you? Have I mentioned the ridiculously low pay? No raises and bonuses are frozen Furloughing across the Production team means that both old and new GOOD talent won't stick around and are probably lost forever. Well done! Toxic and manipulative company culture that makes me really sorry for not having taken these reviews seriously when I applied to work here. They're great at hiring the worst external linguists, it really is something remarkable! This is easily explained by the extremely low rates they're offered combined with the lack of knowledge on specific terminology. Hypocrite and fake environment using Skype emojis - oh puh-lease.
