TransPerfect reviews

At first I was excited to join TransPerfect- the pay seemed excellent, it was labeled as a Project Management role, which I was looking for, and I would get to work with languages, all of which sounded perfect. After a 2-week training period in which I didn't learn a single thing about my role, I then started receiving job-specific training from separate individuals with different opinions on how to do the work correctly. Management is there because they were the only ones who didn't quit, and so they have seniority (I'm serious). They are also very passive aggressive to their staff. While I was there we had zero contact from upper management and heard nothing from them regarding the company or the business plan. Non-management is a good group of people who are understaffed and overworked, which makes the compensation irrelevant. Salary is a dirty word here- while the bare minimum amount of expected hours/week is 45, you will likely work 60-80 hour weeks when things get busy, which can be frequent, especially because of the understaffing. Holidays are scarce and the 401K plan is absolutely terrible. From an ethical standpoint, they are also lying to their clients about project rates as a standard practice. While I made some good money at this position and the sheer amount of work volume did give me some solid experience, it was a very destructive culture, and I regret ever being employed there. I have theories about how this company is still in business, but at some point the extremely high turnover rate, ,the dishonesty to their clients and the lack of involvement from upper management will catch up to them in a big way. If you are looking for something that TransPerfect is offering, I would highly recommend looking at every other possible option first.

I want to start off by letting any prospective employee know that I have been asked 3 times to write a positive review for this company on this site by my manager, but I will not lie for them on here. The 'great opportunity for growth' reviews are written by their marketing team. I would not even call this company, a 'company' it is a scam and they are about two steps away from getting sued by a labor lawyer for their business practices. Think you will ever be able to take a holiday? Forget it if you take this job. They give minimal holidays off, meaning Christmas Day (no Jewish holidays), Thanksgiving, New Years Day, and Fourth of July Day. All other holidays or days before or after the holiday you have to work. You are even expected to be by a computer on holidays to handle any last minute requests that come in. Its a 'work hard, play hard' environment. This means you will be expected to work from 8 AM to 9 PM every night. Also, they sell 24/7 coverage to their clients, but guess who will covering 24/7? YOU. If you tell them you couldn't sign online, they take you into a conference room and scream at you. They give you an unrealistic workload and never pay on any of the commission or bonuses they promise you. I never received one bonus that was promised to me in my interview and they screwed me out of commission on almost every job. The upper management team are all liars and criminals.
