Pros

I worked at TransPerfect for about a year. I had no idea what I wanted to do, and I was exposed to a lot of different companies and industries. - You are given a lot of autonomy over your clients. - All of the places I interviewed at to escape TransPerfect were very impressed with my experiences.

Cons

-Severely underpaid for the amount of hours you are expected to work. Very hard to be promoted and earn a decent salary. -Heard reports from younger female employees about being sexually harassed by management at the annual conference. -No work life balance. You are expected to be working around the clock - weekends, holidays, and after hours. Some few examples -My boss made be wake up at 5 am on a Saturday for a client project multiple times. Received an angry email from my boss to respond to a client who had a non urgent request at 10 pm on the Saturday after Christmas. - Even though you are expected be on the clock 24/7 don’t expect to be given a laptop or anything to help you.

Pros

walking distance to Penn Station

Cons

Profit above people. Laying off and furloughing people during COVID without paying out unused PTO, health insurance or severance. You are just a commodity to them. No career advancement unless you are someone’s favorite or throw out the CEO cellphone during lawsuit. Toxic company culture at best. Richest translation company in the world but can not afford to take care of employees who worked tirelessly for them before letting them go into a recession. CEO is a corrupt greedy cheapskate. Just google him look at the lawsuit between founders.
