Pros

I’ve been working in the company for more than three years now. And I have to admit that reading comments in there makes me simply sad. Especially when someone decides to write a comment how they worked in TPT in 2011 for less than a year, and how everyone should stay away from this company as it’s horrible when they have no idea what is happening in the company now. Most negative comments on glassdoor says how difficult and stressful it is to work here. Well, wake up people, you HAVE to work in here indeed! Everyone reading this should know, that every position in TPT is tough and challenging, and you will have to work, and work hard if you want to be successful. Main pros from my side: 1- Managers are being hired from within 2- Challenging environment forces you to learn new things faster than anywhere else 3- Strong training and support structure 4- Opportunity to work with BIG clients 5- Opportunities to travel 6- Amazing teams, and people you work with 7- You have a chance to be a part of something bigger, to be directly involved in driving the company forward, pushing your ideas forward and making them real.

Cons

1- Stressful environment – everyone mentions that, and it’s true. What’s so stressful?- it’s high workload, important clients, tight turnaround times. Or in other words – loads of responsibility. 2- High workload – everyone mentions that, though I don’t understand why. Again, if you’re not expecting to work hard in here, the job is not for you.

Pros

-Writing 5 words here otherwise won't let me post...

Cons

-Pay is ridiculously low for what you do. Only divas tend to make good money here--and only if you've partied enough with upper management. -Training is NON-existent. -Reactive hiring practices (i.e. overworked). -All jobs/performance/etc on the West Coast are invisible to Phil/Liz. Only big promotions happen on East Coast. -You WILL work LONG hours and over weekends. You WILL be very stressed and not have enough support. You WILL NEVER advance enough to call this a long term career.

Pros

Young staff, casual dress code, decent benefits. Everyone I worked with was friendly, professional and very intelligent. My colleagues were the highlight of my experience at TransPerfect.

Cons

The company's HR team uses smoke and mirrors to attract young, talented professionals. Promises made pre-hire are not kept. Once hired, employees receive minimal training and/or guidance from management. The phrase "overworked and underpaid" applies to almost every employee at this company. Horrible hours and terrible pay generate awful staff morale and a toxic office environment. DO NOT WORK HERE.
