The worst company I have ever worked at - werkgeversreview Project Manager bij TransPerfect

Forget having a normal life, you'll never leave earlier than 8pm. Forget being 5 minutes late. Forget going out for lunch. If you do either of those things you get called into the manager's office who'll harass you for slacking off. I had a manager approach me and tell me off for getting water from the water cooler every hour. His response was "you're not being productive enough". Once I was 5 minutes late. Guess what? Manager's office. During my first week, when I asked my colleagues where we'd be going for lunch, I got a soulless "we don't do lunch here" reply. This should explain how terrible this company is. Speaking of which, the London office (at least back when I worked there in 2011) is old, has coffee stains everywhere and lacks air conditioning. You're supposed to wear a suit. If you're a university grad and you're thinking of applying for a job at Transperfect, DON'T. They are the typical corporate parody people make out to be. Only this is real life. I still dread offices due to the trauma inflicted by Transperfect, as it was my first proper out of uni job. For the love of god, skip this horrible hell hole and go somewhere else.
