Pros

There are some great people who work at TransPerfect. Not sure if they'll stay long-term because they deserve better! Office location

Cons

The glassdoor reviews you will read are entirely true. TransPerfect is a high-stress sweatshop. I read a review that said to run, and now I know why: There is no work/life balance here. There is basically no training offered. New hires (any level) are treated like 'pledges' and are expected to jump at the chance to do busy work for managers and senior managers. Every day you are reminded that their time is more valuable than your own. Senior managers talk down to everyone and are pompous. They are also two-faced, passive aggressive, and gossip nonstop. The environment is indeed toxic and sexist. The SVP makes the environment uncomfortable and on edge at all times she's in the office. She plays favorites and employees don't respect her as a leader. Turnover is a HUGE problem and management is not making any changes when clearly people are unhappy. The pay is pennies at best while you're taught to only care about markup and overcharging clients. There are no bonuses based off merit, or salary raises whatsoever. Hard work doesn't pay off. You get only a couple U.S. holidays off- 6? and no sick days. All in all, TPT is your classic definition of a company with a terrible culture and structure. Do not work here! I wish I would've listened to the reviews prior to taking the job.

A good place to start

Pros

You lear a lot about the localization industry. Skills are easily transferrable and it is truly a good place to start off. You will love your colleagues as you do build a sense of comraderie between one another.

Cons

If you are in production you will remain in production. It is a very sad fact and demoralizing after a while as the departments do do their best to keep you in the same place. Very hard to get a raise too here.

Pros

A ton of opportunity if you are a hungry salesperson. There are a ton of companies TransPerfect does not work with that you can go after.

Cons

There are a lot of companies that TransPerfect already has relationships with. There is also a lot of internal competition.
