Pros

Absolutely nothing left which is a pro, honestly speaking.

Cons

- previously there were SOME good things about TPT, and colleagues were definitely in the top 2-3. Not anymore, colleagues have become brainwashed into turning against their peers in order to achieve a higher job count/ revenue. It's disgusting, and people are way more intense. A few years ago there was a pleasant office atmosphere, now things have become beyond awful- uncomfortable and downright draining. - Finances, money is terrible, they make fake promises but can't keep up with it - CONSTANTLY picking at your flaws. Every. Single. Day. But you could work late hours which wouldn't cross their their minds- but the moment you step a tiny foot wrong, they'll ensure it's VERY CLEAR you made a mess and you're in the bad books. - Company culture is non-existent, but they err 'try' - Bullying culture where you're made to feel uncomfortable, they want you to truly believe, you are not capable and that you will never be enough in life. I'm not joking, the seniors are laughing with their cliquey behaviour spending their tonnes of $$$ prancing around looking down on the paupers

Pros

The people that I worked with at TransPerfect were fantastic. Many were smart, ambitious, talented, and giving of their time to want to help you. I made friendships there that will likely last a lifetime. My direct manager also did a great job supporting me which I was grateful for.

Cons

To say that people here are underpaid is an understatement. It goes beyond just not being market rate for some roles. Underpaying employees is a system problem in TransPerfect in all facets of the company. Given my role, I was able to see firsthand the insulting type of salaries that were offered to new employees and the paltry raises given to current ones. It was mind-boggling that senior management saw nothing wrong with this, especially given that they were so worried about retention. If you are not customer-facing in TransPerfect, you are quite literally an afterthought for senior leadership. They talk about wanting to be an employer of choice but the very basic necessity of paying people at least the market rate is not on their radar. The belief is that TransPerfect culture is so good that it makes up for what is missed in dollars. I wouldn't say that TransPerfect has a bad culture, but I would save it's very average at best. It in no way makes up for the pay disparity. Additionally, they are making a push to get everyone back in office despite them having literal record-breaking revenue years with a work-from-home strategy. It is as if executive leadership and senior management cannot see the forest for the trees. They actively bury their head and refuse to address core problems because it would cost them money and it seems they are highly allergic to spending money on their employees.
