TransPerfect reviews

The management behaves highly unprofessionally in most cases, the workload is way too high resulting in incredibly late leaving times that will make you work around 50 hours per week (basically a fifth extra week every month). They say that they want to develop their employees, but what they really do is squeezing out everything they can from them in order to generate the maximum profit instead than hiring more people, something that they do with all the freelance linguists who work for them as well, to whom they offer ridiculously low rates. The sales department has no idea about what they are selling, and constantly puts the production department in trouble with impossible deadlines and budgets. Most of the managers behave like a bunch of elite people in the company, therefore when you join and if you are a normal employee is very difficult to fit in, especially considering that everyone is constantly busy and stressed. Furthermore, they have an internal feedback system mainly focused on negativity, that makes you end up working with the constant menace of a negative feedback from a colleague or a client. Negative feedback can occur even if it is not your fault but a colleague's, or if you could not avoid the issue that arose due to lack of time or budget. Do not believe what they say during the interview process about company culture, parties, benefits, etc, they are just trying to sell it the best they can. Benefits are basically non existent.

STAY AWAY!!! Poor management, lack of professionalism, no training, poor compensation, long hours, lack of regard for employee health or well being. This company is the most dysfunctional place i have ever worked. The company is owned by 2 individuals who cannot get along. I personally have witnessed several fights and these events have led to ongoing litigation's. There is no training provided to employees and they invest NOTHING in furthering anyone's knowledge or career. There is a tremendous amount of title inflation, the majority of "director's within the company are 24-28 year old college grad with nothing more that a BA degree and 2-4 years work experience. During the hiring process you are promised bonuses and promotions which you will likely never see. Salaries are very low, only those who befriend the right people or joined the company very early on are the ones that make ridiculous amounts of commission from all the work everyone else does. The work life balance is terrible. You are expected to ALWAYS be online and work day and night. I have had coworkers get sick from the long hours and stressful environment. Company doesn't provide any official sick days so you have to used your hard earned vacation time to recuperate from the hell they put you through.
