TransPerfect reviews

They send you a warning if you're 10 min late in the morning, but leaving at 11 pm every day or working on bank holidays is not a problem for them. On my first day here, my TL hands me a 25-page long "final eye" review 2 min before 6 pm. I didn't even know what to look for since I hadn't had that training yet. By the end of the first week, I had already 15 projects to work on... every translator is blacklisted so you actually have to beg them to take on your projects. How are you supposed to find translators and revisors if there aren't enough on your database?! How do you handle 15 translation projects 1 week after you start?! Especially if you can't find anybody to do the work because everybody is blacklisted for delivering work 10 min after the deadline!! It's just ridiculous! By the end of week 2, I had already been to the doctor because of anxiousness and I had spent a few sleepless nights thinking about how I was going to deliver certain projects. Needless to say that I quit a few weeks after. After I quit, I started receiving messages on social media from people who "wanted to know my impressions about working at Transperfect"... Of course I never replied and of course, this was someone from the company trying to see if I would speak badly about the company. Well, guess what, I didn't do it back then but I had to get it off my chest now. So everyone, if you're thinking about working here, just don't!! Seriously, don't even approach these people!

I have worked for this company for 2 and half years, transitioning from project coordinator, to project manager and finally to team lead. Does not matter if you work in the Barcelona office, NY or LA, the company culture will get you! To summarize, the managers and the directors treat you like machines, are abusive and only care about themselves. The company culture embodies this abusive behaviour, and people ascend just because they are aggressive and repressive. I only stayed for so long because my colleagues were amazing and they were trying to survive like me.; I really thought I could make a difference when I was promoted to team lead, but no. The only role of the team lead is to be aggressive and abusive to their team, threaten them to get results, so the big bosses can enjoy their bonuses and present big numbers to directors as if it was their own achievements. They are so abusive that they make you believe you are in the wrong, but do not be afraid to speak for yourselves and to sue if necessary, as many people should have done it.
