TransPerfect Reviews

It doesn't appreciate the employee's effort. Working hours are really long and the deadlines are very tight, yet expect to have perfect documents. All the quality issues or mistakes go under project coordinator, which even extends the working hour without any compensation about it. Even if a lot of effort has been put into the work, it's not really recognized.

Super micromanaging: You will be watched by your lead all time because it’s their job is to monitor your daily work and constantly give you “feedback”; I was asked to give updates to my lead 2-3 times a day to let them know my progress; Each of us need to send our manager an End-Of-Day spreadsheet that logs your working hours and the jobs we’ve worked on that day. Repetitive and tiring work which you have to be hold 100% accountable: Besides managing jobs and sending mass emails to vendors, most of your time would be spent on final-eyeing translated documents that you don’t even know the language, or fixing the ugly formatting of the files, and you are expected to deliver them to the client with zero mistakes. These QA work could be done by externals but the the company wants to avoiding costs so they are exploiting the PMs. Unmanageable workload: You are expected to work overtime everyday. The managers’ tactic is to test everyone’s limit until it lead people to burnout, instead of hiring enough staff. Low salary; The amount they pay the linguists who are actually create the work is a joke.
