TransPerfect reviews

After seeing all bad reviews for the last year and half, and I'm not surprised to all of a sudden see almost a dozen positive reviews from sales people in the last week. The executives here will do anything to make themselves look good - even if it means mandating their sales people to write reviews to help raise their rating. Notice the only positive reviews are from sales people. This is because in this company, sales is king (I used to be in sales too, but the downright unethical culture and incompetent and petty micromanagement turned me off) - it is the only thing that matters, and the only thing they care about is growing the company at all costs. Production people (project managers, linguists, etc.) are the scum of the earth, and sales people are allowed to walk all over them. As other reviews have said, the turnover of employees in production is very high - they believe there will always be new college grads (read: inexperienced!) to lure into their sweatshop trap, so if the word is finally out and they're having trouble finding people to hire, it doesn't surprise me that they're using the good ratings they get from salespeople to improve their rating.

- Starting pay can be frustrating for new account managers, as the company pays low starting salaries to make AMs more "hungry" to advance and start making real money! - This is sales, so we're always at our clients' beck and call. If your clients have a lot of requests one day, you're going to work late...a lot of people complain about it, but that's just the way it is in sales!
