Pros

Due to TPT being so big in the localization sector there is job security.

Cons

Obsessed with c-suite and its managers. No trickle down effect on pay or giving recognition to its PMs. The lowest of pay in the industry and doesn't give yearly increases due to its pay freeze. I'm sure all of its leaders and managers are raking in the dough off of the workbees hard work.

Pros

-You will develop a tough skin. Anything that has to do with your project is on you whether it’s your fault or not. -You will appreciate the cosmopolitan work force that exists at this place. I still have friends worldwide from here and had the opportunity to visit different offices. -You and your teammates will be bonded for life. Based on the fact, you know what hell is and survived it. -It is on you on how you climb the ladder. It was only through hard work and most importantly, results, I was able to climb. -Everyone in the industry and outside the industry will be InMailing you after 2-3 years because they know you are good.

Cons

-Repeat after me, this company only cares about profits and results. -There is allot more backstabbing than most people realize. -This is not a company for DEI candidates. It is still a sorority and fraternity frat house. -Sales is valued over production. -There is little privacy when it comes to gossip and confidentiality. I would always here top confidential information on the elevator or in the restrooms. Watch out what you say around people. -Upper Management abuses. The IT department once had to do one of the SVP’s invitations for a PTA meeting and help out with their kid’s homework. It’s true and more than happy to take a lie detector test because I saw it with my own eyes. -The level of abuse is degrading. HR does not care because who is going to win against Phil. -When you resign, you will be a traitor to the company and people will try to find out where you are working. TPT has sued various ex employees over the years and has spied on alumni.

Pros

Very few, if any, pros to list here. One silver lining is that you will get a decent amount of exposure to different languages, cultures, and markets.

Cons

Horrible company culture and work/life balance. Everything is about making sure the company's bottom line is as high as possible. You will work yourself to the bone making sure the C-suite is happy and rich, and then you will not see even a portion of your fair share of the profits unless you dedicate your entire life to the company. Bonuses were always late. I was lied to about my benefits after leaving the company, and HR made mistakes regarding my last paycheck and refused to honor a bonus they still hadn't paid me after over three months of waiting.
