Pros

Great colleagues, good title to add to your CV

Cons

Work until your burn out work model Low salary to the amount of unpaid overtime you will have to do. Crazy pressure that does not end, you will work until depression gets to you. No rewards - buying a round of drinks is not really a reward! A work hard play hard attitude is what is tried to be portrait instead the reality is high turnover because of dodgy practices - undercutting rates or penalising translators is not the way forward

Pros

Great team. Great training provided. You relly learn the ropes.

Cons

Crazy work hours and an ethic of "do it or lose your job" Immense pressure from day one Low salary and rarely increases. Oppressive environment No scope to move up ladder unless someone quits. Despite empty promises they make. So easy to get in to. Impossible to get out.

in a word, OPPORTUNITY

Pros

Opportunity, people, work-hard-play-hard culture, innovation, autonomy, ability to be creative, access to the top. I have certainly had my ups and downs over the years. Especially during the not-so-great times, I was forced to be honest with myself and evaluate what really made me happy at work. I was able to narrow it down to three things: 1) opportunity (to move up and to make money); 2) genuinely enjoying what I do; 3) believing in the vision of the company. We are not perfect - but when it comes down to it, TransPerfect continually exceeds my expectations in these categories.

Cons

managing hundreds of emails a day
