Pros

the people are AMAZING, young fun people! you meet people from all around the world and different culture, every 3rd Thursday you go out for drinks with clients. global footprint and can travel to each office.

Cons

LONG hours you will NOT be only working 42 hours which is LONG already up to 52-60 hours a week. very very demanding! you would have to give up your work life balance to met deadlines and targets. very very target base! it all about how much money you can make for the company, the more money you make the higher you get! if you dont make targets managers will be ON your case like crazy everyone eats at there desk! if you take a full 1hr lunch without checking emails you would get a warning from manages. Maro managed: you have to tell managed what you done every day via email: it called End of Days and it can not be missed and every Friday to show you are meeting target and deadline High turnover: over 49% employee turnover they have a week called do your job week where you have to COLD CALL for 5-8 hours a day! nothing but cold call, so you have to make over 59 calls a day Minimum. 20 days holiday a year aggressive based sales anyone within the teams ends up to together because they spend so much time together, which is very unprofessional

Pros

Young international mix of colleagues, you can land the job with close to no experience if you make good impression as the company is in constant search for new workforce

Cons

Very stressful environment, long working hours on pretty much permanent basis, low salary, huge disproportion between the level of freedom/independency (or remuneration for that matter) and scope of things that you will be held responsible for, externally proclaimed values are pretty much in direct opposition with actual daily praxis.

Pros

I'm a freelancer so I cannot say about what is it like for a full time employee to be employed at TransPerfect. I've seen and heard that it is a great company to start out at for a recent grad. Very culturally diverse and multi-lingual. You've be surprised at who speaks what language (in addition to English). TransPerfect has offices all across the globe, many employees can travel and work at the many locations outside and within the US.

Cons

Long hours and low salary are complaints I often hear. Everyone is young and works there for a couple years and then leave, so very high turn-over of employees. Always some sort of farewell party at the break room at least once a month.
