Pros

Met some lovely people. If you exit TransPerfect alive, you can survive anything!

Cons

What you will encounter is unpaid overtime and overtime is all that you do there. My contract stated that I have a 1 hour lunch, but I was only on very rare occasions able to have a 20 minute lunch. The workday was supposed to start at 8:30 am and end at 17:30 pm. In reality, my workdays lasted from 8 am till 11 pm and I was finding it difficult to find time for bathroom breaks. The projects just pour in and you can't do anything about it. You need to final eye the translations and deliver lots of projects at the same time. As some of the reviews already say here, you are constantly micromanaging and trying to avoid a disaster if you should deliver a project late. It goes without saying that there is absolutely no work and life balance in this company. Working there has seriously damaged my health. I have anxiety and can't get rid of hand tremors.

Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working at TransPerfect. This was the worst place I have ever worked in.

Cons

Overworked, artificial budgets to work with, unpleasant & un happy staff, high pressure, terrible pay, hours are the longest I have ever worked (20 hours plus in one day), high stress. Treated like slaves. Top bosses earn millions, staff earn peanuts. Like to hire young recruits who have little work experience (or none) and think the ridiculous objectives are normal.
