Not Worth the Pay

Pros

1. The Milwaukee Office is located on a very cool campus (Schlitz Office Park) and has wonderful access to the Milwaukee River during lunch breaks. 2. Ability to work remote--even though it's never encouraged, it was nice to know that I could work from home while sick and not use PTO.

Cons

1. MKE office has an open floor and desk plan. You're seated 3 feet from someone on your left, right, and in front of you. There are no barriers or cubicle walls..... No privacy from co-workers, felt like I was sitting in a zoo. 2. Basically should be a permanent "work from home" job. No real need to come into office aside from training/occasional meetings. 3. Terrible pay. 4. Mundane work. Same work flow process all day, every day. 5. They say they're expanding and doing great, but in reality, no real room for growth or promotion opportunities (unless you count going from Project Coordinator to Project Manger a "promotion"--same job function with a $2k/year raise, laughable). 6. The co-founders really messed up the company when they started feuding.

A disappointment

Pros

Quick-paced, a good amount of responsibility.

Cons

TransPerfect fosters a high-stress, blame-centric environment. It's difficult to feel accomplished or proud of one's work with employees being so pressured to produce that the quality of the work slips. Processes are developed but nearly impossible to adjust to unique cases, which leads to mistakes being forgotten and little development. Little work-life balance and diminishing opportunities for advancement. Salary and benefits are below average. The young atmosphere tends to be muddled by everyone's stress and company drama is well-known by anyone with internet access. The romance associated with working for a global company has vanished.
