Ok, but not a long-term place

Pros

Good learning experience at first. Lots of young people work there, so it's a fun atmosphere.

Cons

Poor management that won't stand up for team. Sometimes there's nothing to do during the day, but employees are expected to work after hours and on weekends (always on call).

Pros

This was my first job out of college and it was a great way to break into the industry since they mostly hire recent graduates. Like Frank Sinatra said, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. TransPerfect will always be my comparison to say "this job could always be worse." Casual dress code, great team members, great learning experience.

Cons

Unnecessarily stressful environment. It was not uncommon to find fellow employees crying at their desks, crying in the hallway, crying in the bathroom... and for what? It's a TRANSLATION company, not an emergency room! Management exploited the fact that most employees came straight out of college and had no idea what a normal work environment (or normal pay) is like. Looking back on it, I can't believe I stayed there as long as I did. 12 hour days were the norm, and people were fired for making the slightest mistake.

Pros

Very diverse office with individuals from all over the world which makes the job fun and the days enjoyable. If you do well there is a lot of opportunity to move locations.

Cons

The company will work you (think late nights, weekends) but will not pay you for that work and will not show you any gratitude. Thank less work.
