      The most horrible three years of my life.

      Pros

      Lots to do. If you want to bury yourself with work and don't care about anything else in the world, this is the perfect place for you.

      Cons

      Too much work. Departments are under-manpowered therefore everyone has to pick up load. Senior management doesn't provide clear guidance on what they want (other than money). Terrible work-life balance. You are expected to work 24x7 and can expect a call at any time, even at 3 AM since it is a global company. Zero IT training. Zero growth opportunities. Junior members are not trained and not promoted.

      Don't work in production.

      Pros

      Outside of production there are actually some decent jobs. I worked in technology, and although I completely identify with the rest of the reviews here, it wasn't like that for me. I worked 40 hour weeks every single week, was paid well compared to the rest of the company, and got along great with my team. However, I realize I am a small, small minority.

      Cons

      Stay far, far away from anything in the production department (QA, Quotes, Project Coordinator, Project Manager). My office was 90% production and I saw people breaking down and crying in the lunchroom on a weekly basis. People were paid slave wages for 60+ hour work weeks. The only people that stuck around were because they weren't talented enough to find anything else. Very sad.

      Absurd turnover rate.

      Pros

      Centrally located office in mid-town Manhattan. No other pros, really. This is not a good company to work for.

      Cons

      No long-term thinking whatsoever, there's no future at TransPerfect. This company does not value their employees. The staff is not a valued resource at TransPerfect. If you're not happy it's not their problem. Anyone can fill your seat, at any time. 60-70 h work weeks are considered "light" and 80-90 is more like "normal". But don't think you'll get paid a big, fat salary for this work. The starting salary is at the looower end of entry-level and for the hours you are expected/forced to put in, the compensation is ridiculous. Salary increases are low/non-existent and completely at the whim of the owners.
