TransPerfect reviews

While working for TransPerfect for over two years I came to learn quite a few things. There is 0 work-life balance. I worked until 1 am on a Sunday and it was expected of me, because that was "my job" The company itself has an extremely high turnover rate and management doesn't care because they can replace bodies and only care about what clients you bring in, and can transition those clients to other people if you leave the company. It is odd to me how a senior manager can keep their job when 6 employees quit in a 1 1/2 year span and they are over 50% under goal. TransPerfect promises bonuses when you start, and these are impossible to attain due to the fact that they are not performance based and are dependent on other individuals that you can not control. Additionally, the commission structure is that of a pyramid scheme. You do not get any commission until you are promoted to an Account Executive, and the commission at that point is less than 0.05%. So you are doing all of the work, while your boss is sitting back and counting checks. I have witnessed senior managers lie and manipulate clients so that it benefits them and they didn't think twice about it. I am a firm believer of morals, ethics and values- and TransPerfect doesn't support any of these.

High turn over rate, hostile environment where everyone is at each others throat. Under paying as they figure since you are nonexempt, the managers will make it your responsibility for the project so they can leave on time.
