Pros

My group was a lot of fun -- and we ended up pretty close. Part of that came from how hard we worked (which was too hard). During my time there, I learned a lot -- which I've been able to take with me. I made some good connections, and though I feel I could have stuck with it, I decided to take the leap to law school.

Cons

The company has a number of silos -- I felt like there were a ton of people there I only knew by face.

Pros

You become close with your co-workers because you're all going through the same difficulties. Similar to a pledge class, I suppose.

Cons

TransPerfect's business model is based upon having people work as much unpaid overtime as possible. The business environment is hostile, where departments only interact to yell at each other. Outdated software and processes make what should be easy work, time-consuming. The volume of work that will be assigned to you will be too much. Quality suffers because everything is rushed out the door because there are SO many other jobs that need attention. You can theoretically have a lunch break. If you do leave for more than 20 minutes for lunch, however, you will come back to a stalled project, and tons of emails from people angry that something has gone wrong. That's why no ones does take lunch breaks.
