I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at TransPerfect (New York, NY) in Oct 2008
Interview
I found the job on Monsters.com and I was contacted by HR within 2 business days. I came in and interviewed by 4 people. The direct manager of the team, HR person, VP and the group manager.
HR person helped me out and told me what the managers want to hear and she gave me hints. I talked to the managers and they just looked over my resume and asked me to introduce myself and that's basically it.
VP resummarized the job position and didn't ask me anything specific.
the interview was long, it took about 3-4 hours but that was only a one shot interview.
very long, 5+interviews, and then they don't get back to you soon enough. HR tells you what you want to hear then they don't follow through on the benefits mentioned.
I interviewed at TransPerfect (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Very lenghty process with several follow ups with no response. Turnover is I understand very high. Could be a good stepping stone as a junior but that is all. Team seem alright.
I did lots of interviews, got great feedback on each one. After the final one I was ghosted for weeks without a response. I reached out and they eventually replied and lowballed me with an insulting offer, much lower than normal for the role. I will never apply to work for them again. I think they were holding out to get someone cheaper.

Question 1
There was a lot of textbook scenario questions, how would you handle this situtation etc.
