Pros

- Total meritocracy - You do have to put in a fair share of work, but it pays off in promotions, increased salary, increased responsibility - Company is constantly growing, changing and evolving - Keeps you on your toes and allows for management opportunities - Lots of responsibility given early on

Cons

- Can be stressful at times but that is the case with any sales/client-facing job.

Pros

TransPerfect is a true meritocracy and completely focused on results. The people who consistently perform at a high level are consistently rewarded for their work. The only limitations are ones own level of energy and creativity. Over the last 7 years, I have leared more, made more money, and grown more as a professional than I had in my previous 10 years of work experience. The reasons why I have planted roots here are simple: The work is intellectually stimulating - there are always new tings to learn to stay ahead of the curve; My executive management team is 100% committed to my success; The people that I work with and for are not only colleagues, but also true friends.

Cons

People are successful at TransPerfect if they are self-directed to a large degree. People who are not by nature independent, goal driven and self-directed my find balancing their proirities a challenge

Pros

-large, stable, fast growing company. -very young environment, friendly colleagues -impressive senior management team. When you see these people in person (meetings, etc), you will know what I mean. -excellent career advancement opportunities. You also have the ability to switch paths internally if you are looking to change your career path within the company. -great training program. You get to shadow behind many employees that have been with the company for a long time- you also get to travel for some trianing. It's nice to get to see what goes on behind the scenese. -compensation based on performance- you hold the key to your future. -even though the company has grown tremendously over the last few years, it still has the small company feel. -the company shows their appreciation by hosting annual training sessions. You get to fly to a different location each time to socialize with your peers, learn new things, and you get wined and dined in the most upscale hotels and restaurants. Definitely a perk!

Cons

-the hours are slightly longer than the standard 9-5, but nothing crazy. It's a sales job- if you are looking for a sales job you know that we are essentially "always" available for our client's if that's what it takes to make the sale -the first year is a little tough, but in most cases, you are a recent college grad and have not had much job experience so of course it takes some getting used to. If you can look at your successfull colleagues and peers who all started off in the same position, and see how far they have come and advanced, you can see the bigger picture and know that all your hard work will pay off, and it definitely does!
