Pros

Young entry level staff - starting pay in proj mngment typically around $40K If u can release the ball n'chain from your ankle to your desk - you can attend a few social events sponsored by TP - a way of them showing their gratitude for your blood, sweat and tears If you find a second in your day to interact socially with your coworkers - you can find some really great people work here - yet they're so overworked, you mostly feel their pain or see their tears.

Cons

Um, same as above along with sr. management's appearance of having their head stuck in the sand and their lack of response to the obvious revolving door of production staff (either voluntarily or by termination). Issues with production are NEVER the fault of management decisions - but ALWAYS the fault of the employee....and thus TP continues to hire unqualified employees ...if that's the case.

Pros

-a lot of free booze if you brown nose management -will take practically anyone as long as they have a pulse

Cons

-reactionary rather than innovative -management wants to be thought police (notice how people who work here aren't allowed to list it on their linkedin profiles?) -management promotes their sorority sisters and frat brothers (without merit) before anyone else -very little training -will not help you get to the next level of your career. Most likely will keep you from advancing. -high, high turnover for a reason -sr. management is highly narcissistic

Pros

TransPerfect can be a good place for someone who is primarily interested in a solid compensation package. There is a lot of opportunity for young professionals to gain access to results-oriented sales and/or project management roles. It is a young company and if you are looking for a "work hard/play hard" type of place, this could be a good fit.

Cons

There is very little separation of work and life. Most employees are expected to attend social functions outside of the office which becomes burdensome since we are typically working a large number of hours. There is a lot of turnover in the junior-level positions as those who don't "buy-in" typically use this as an opportunity to add to their resume before getting burnt out or finding another position. Another problem is that because the company grew so quickly, they didn't have time to get the proper infrastructure in place. This causes some problems when it comes to issues with Human Resources, Training, etc.
