Pros

This was my first job out of college and it was a great way to break into the industry since they mostly hire recent graduates. Like Frank Sinatra said, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. TransPerfect will always be my comparison to say "this job could always be worse." Casual dress code, great team members, great learning experience.

Cons

Unnecessarily stressful environment. It was not uncommon to find fellow employees crying at their desks, crying in the hallway, crying in the bathroom... and for what? It's a TRANSLATION company, not an emergency room! Management exploited the fact that most employees came straight out of college and had no idea what a normal work environment (or normal pay) is like. Looking back on it, I can't believe I stayed there as long as I did. 12 hour days were the norm, and people were fired for making the slightest mistake.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
