      Good to start but run away after

      Project manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You learn about the translation industry Gain some PM skills Freelancers are the absolute best and the ones that you will really become your friends Non manager people are great Training is available not to say it's great but is available

      Cons

      Training doesn't keep up with changes in the company Managers are the absolute worst thing about this company. People that manage teams are just either careless or complete bullys and will make your life miserable because they can and they know they will get away with it. The first rots from the top doesn't it? Sadly the women in charge, team leads and managers are as bad as their male counterparts Do not expect any sympathy for the long hours you will need to put in and the excessive amount of work. Your managers will have meetings with you about it because they have to but they won't care or do anything with your feedback If you bring up low salaries or impossible workload and they even hear you talking about it with your peers you will be branded as having an attitude by your team lead or manager and gossiped about through the entire company They refuse to give any raises yet once you resign it's suddenly the first thing they can give you They are now recruiting in Manchester and Portugal to probably save money so don't even bother applying if you work in bigger cities. Pay is not going to be enough for you to have a life They let you work from home but but you need to buy your own equipment. So for the little amount of money they pay you they expect you to be there so they can breathe down your neck Make no mistake you will be watched and asked about e-mails you sent all day everyday. Same for every cent you pay. Do not expect much progression. If you started as a PM you will be expected to die as a PM. If you make the right friends you might move up but it will take forever to do so. Might as well resign and get better pay and a better job while you wait.

      Horrible company

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There really aren't any They under pay They overwork you The CEO has his head in rear end Upper manager is clueless

      Cons

      Me and half my team were fired for all the same reason and they couldn't give recent or relevant examples. The head of my department was on every shared inbox or distro list anyone might used. I was critiqued on my communication style ...to a shared inbox. The buck stops at whoever they can fire for the problem Hardly anyone who works in marketing actually can do marketing

      Toxic environment.

      It support specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only good thing is the people, but that depends what department or team you’re in.

      Cons

      Heavily under pays IT staff, while issuing the amount of work and crunch that makes you reconsider the IT field. The equipment, software, policies and upper management are behind in the times. I’ll say if it was the early 2000’s, it’ll be right at home. The ones who do good work will try, but it’s an uphill battle. Undervalues those who really try and care, but hires people just for the number of bodies. The company itself claims diversity and wholesomeness. But if you’re a minority, you’ll start seeing the cracks of the company. The culture of TransPerfect is glorified college fraternity, not investing in their workers but expects an applause things no one really cares about. The turnover for this place is high.
