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.
