Not a fun time

Pros

The people were mostly great. We bonded over the stress levels unfortunately.

Cons

No support, just cracked the whip harder. Worked on Christmas Eve, all hours of the day and night to make deadlines. Part I didn't like the most was bargaining with linguists to get their rates down so TP could make more money. Things are so rushed it was nerve-wracking especially having to do with medical texts.

STAY AWAY

Pros

Some sales training is provided

Cons

Rude, disrespectful and over-entitled coworkers. Sales managers are protected even if they commit HR violations against you. This place made me want to cry going into the office every single day. STAY AWAY, besides, the pay is insignificant for everything they make you go through.

Pros

The people are wonderful, and everyone is committed to the job. You get to work with people from all over the world. The company has offices in the top locations of every country it inhabits, and PMs can work out of these offices.

Cons

It becomes clear pretty early on, that this company hires mainly college grads who don't know they should expect respect, boundaries, and perks from the job. Employees are paid insultingly low salaries, and are expected to pay translators the same level of meager wages. The hours are terrible - 9 to 6 is the signed contract, but there are days you'll come in at 8:30 and won't leave til 9. You're on salary, so you don't get compensated for this, but the job needs to get done. There's always more work than can be handled, because the processes are archaically bad. Technologies are not properly utilized here to make things more efficient. TransPerfect runs a tight ship, and with the low salaries and extremely stressful conditions, there is extremely high turnover. This makes it even harder on the employees that stick around. There are many stories of people sleeping at the office on occasion, and offices "imploding" because all of the PMs quit at once. I could go on and on, but that's enough for now. Spare yourself the stress, and don't work here.
