Pros

The people are amazing and I made some friends that I know will be life long contacts and this company provides a great insight into the translation business. It will give you the experience necessary to find a good job.

Cons

Working at Transperfect is a bit of a mixed bag as a Project Coordinator. You will love the people you work with and your manager, but you will hate working 12-14 hours per day. This company is the typical post-college modern day sweatshop that has a ridiculously high turnover because people eventually realize they can get jobs where they are respected and do not have to work 70+ hours per weak. This company typically hires kids out of college who don't know much better and make them feel like they are lucky to have the job. Overall, I cannot say that this was a positive experience in anyway. I feel that the only reason this position might be beneficial is when you realize your own potential and leave the company with some knowledge of the translation industry. In a recent interview with a translation company, a hiring manager looked at my resume and said "Transperfect huh? So how long did you work there? I am always interested to see what is the lowest number I can get." This company is a complete joke and is constantly obsessed with making more money at the expense of the health and motivation of their employees. This company is led by people who had almost never held another position anywhere else, and it is absolutely damning to the culture. It produces people who are content with being exploited and they try to impose that upon you as well. This company is a white collar sweatshop that has limited potential for growth. I would not recommend this company to any of my friends entirely because they can prove themselves in a company that actually recognizes success. They are quick to hire anyone because of their high turnover, so if you are a fresh graduate, please take the time to really consider this before accepting the first job offered to you.

Pros

Development opportunities within a big company with a relatively short history. Short ladder to an upper management.

Cons

Ridiculous salary, horrible compensation for hard work. Finger pointing work environment - in every situation, the company will find one person to take all the blames. Employees need to be prepared to protect themselves in every single situation. No appreciation for its employees nor forgiveness for any type of errors.

Pros

I gained good experience I take elsewhere (where I dont have to work 80 hours a week and am bullied)

Cons

It you are over the age of 35 bullied and ostracized by younger employees they hire out of college as they do not know any better about how people are to be treated...run in a high school clique fashion; unprofessional, abusive
