Don't work in production.

Pros

Outside of production there are actually some decent jobs. I worked in technology, and although I completely identify with the rest of the reviews here, it wasn't like that for me. I worked 40 hour weeks every single week, was paid well compared to the rest of the company, and got along great with my team. However, I realize I am a small, small minority.

Cons

Stay far, far away from anything in the production department (QA, Quotes, Project Coordinator, Project Manager). My office was 90% production and I saw people breaking down and crying in the lunchroom on a weekly basis. People were paid slave wages for 60+ hour work weeks. The only people that stuck around were because they weren't talented enough to find anything else. Very sad.

Pros

You get to know the mechanisms of a corporate monster that aims to exploit as many translators, pm's and other staff as possible, all for the gain of a 2.3 mark up.

Cons

A culture of fear and aggresive disrespect, extremely low pay, ridiculous working hours, brainwashed management, and a work ethic that is based on survival of the 'fittest' (people who say yes to everything). Employees at Transperfect can be divided into two categories: those who have a life, morals, values and empathy and those who live their lives based on fear, power and control without a sense morality. Those who have some sense of right and wrong usually do not stay very long. Those who want to "work their way up" in the company at any costs spend their days sucking up to management, treating translators like crap and have overall lost the ability to use the word no, sacraficing their colleagues' well being in the process. Why? Because TPT never accepts no from an employee, especially a pm. I am ashamed that transnational companies such as Transperfect are able to bring their poisoning, rigoureus, disrespectful and greedy business model into a country such as Holland. Let's boycot the s. out of companies like these and stop them from spreading corporate violence.
