TransPerfect reviews

This is an incredible growth opportunity for sales. I started in a California office and loved my boss and the opportunity the job gave me. I got promoted after a year, and after another 6 months I was offered an opportunity to manage my own office! We had 21 offices when I started and are now up to 65 and still growing...lots of room for advancement, transfer, and promotion. Also, you can be managing people within a couple of years; not many jobs can say that for recent college grads.

Tremendous entrepreneurial platform. The founders have built a business framework that scales quickly and relatively efficiently. That has resulted in incredible growth in its 20 years and means that someone can come into the organization and have a significant impact relatively quickly, with corresponding financial and promotional benefits. Ability to work on large, complex projects. Because languages affect so many parts of a business and so many industries, TransPerfect allows its employees to work on large complex business projects that would typically be handled by simplistic consulting companies. This provides an incredible education on how to sell, launch and manage complex enterprise engagements. Diversity of background. Excluding folks who go to school to study translation, most people don’t set out for a career in the translation business. As a result, most employees at TransPerfect will have a range of liberal arts backgrounds, that you may not see in a traditional business services company, which makes for interesting employees and co-workers. It also allows people who may have taken a more esoteric course of academic study and entre into the traditional business world. Aggressive expansion, with conservative business strategy. While the company is very focused on growing aggressively, it has always been focused on doing so in a financially stable way. While this may not sounds like a very sexy attribute of a company, the practical application is that the company has sustained growth and profitability for over 20 years and means that it is great place to build a stable long term career. In my 16 years with the company, there has only ever been one instance of layoffs due to financial reasons. It is as pure a meritocracy as you are likely to see in the business world. Generally speaking the guidelines for success in any role are clearly laid out, and those that are able to exceed those guidelines are quickly promoted and well compensated. The reverse is also true, i.e. for those who do not perform against those guidelines, it is not a great long term environment.
