Pros
None, but you only realise this when you have left TransPerfect and have had enough time to recover from the experience
Cons
You travel to work with a stone in your stomach and return ready to cry. One of my colleagues had a dispute with the General Manager and I was called by HR in London to provide evidence which could be used against my colleague. They pretended this was just an employee survey, but it was quite clear to me what they were after and I refused to corroborate the statements they presented to me. Nevertheless, my words were twisted and my statements were rephrased in such a way that they shed a very unfavourable light on my colleague. When I saw what they had made of my testimony I protested. I received a very brief acknowledgement from HR, but later the twisted version was used anyway. Three other colleagues were asked to help build the case as well, and I suspect they were too scared to protest and cooperated. We never discussed the matter among ourselves because we felt too embarrassed by having been brought in such a situation. Three months after my refusal to cooperate, my contract was terminated. This is exactly the way the colleague with the dispute had said it would end, in spite of the fact that my team manager had claimed that I had nothing to worry about. This all happened nearly a year ago, and I felt so miserable after this experience that I was unable to apply for another job until quite recently. Working at TransPerfect completely damaged my self esteem and many of my co-workers have had the same experience. There is absolutely no point in working here. There were fewer than forty people working in Utrecht, but there was no way you could get to know everyone since the turnover is so incredibly high. It was a horrible experience.
