Absurd turnover rate.

Pros

Centrally located office in mid-town Manhattan. No other pros, really. This is not a good company to work for.

Cons

No long-term thinking whatsoever, there's no future at TransPerfect. This company does not value their employees. The staff is not a valued resource at TransPerfect. If you're not happy it's not their problem. Anyone can fill your seat, at any time. 60-70 h work weeks are considered "light" and 80-90 is more like "normal". But don't think you'll get paid a big, fat salary for this work. The starting salary is at the looower end of entry-level and for the hours you are expected/forced to put in, the compensation is ridiculous. Salary increases are low/non-existent and completely at the whim of the owners.

Pros

If you like freedom, accountability and getting better, there is not a better place to work. From the top down, everyone is challenged to be best they can be and better than that tomorrow. It is that focus that allows even the entry level people to see ideas, make improvements and better service the client and the company.

Cons

Being told there are areas anyone can improve on is tough.

Pros

No pros at this company unless you are one of the first Directors of Business developments that stuck around, if you are one, then now your job is to manipulate, abuse, and work green college graduates while they make no money and you come in at 10

Cons

Upper Management is a joke. They mentally abuse all employees Popularity contest in major offices with toxic working environments in most. Worst offenders are New York, DC, and Atlanta Future leaders not determined by merit/achievement instead by amount of happy hours attended No repercussions for non-performance/low sales numbers because if you go to enough HH and stay out late enough at conferences, you will get promoted Culture in New York Office
