I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at TransPerfect in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online and 1 month later was invited for an interview. The interview took 1,5 h in total and consisted of 3 rounds with the team members and management.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very personal, strange questions, which had nothing to do with my qualification. They asked me "Are your parents still together?", "What does your boyfriend do for a living?" (?!?), "How often do you speak to your mother?". They said "If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to answer", but then kept asking new strange stuff. I answered them all because I had nothing to hide, but this interview made me feel uncomfortable and put an alert on. The next day they send me a job offer. I wanted to do my research on the company, because the interview was weird and I was alarmed, so I asked if I could have time to think about it and they offered 7 days. I checked Glassdoor reviews, which were very negative, read the company's history which was full of unpretty stories. I also spoke to smb who already works there and gave a very positive overview. I decided to accept the offer (within 4 days). I also canceled my honeymoon holidays and did some other serious arrangements to be able to start sooner because they were not happy to hear about my holiday arrangements and a starting date. After that they called me to say that the offer was withdrawn because they didn't feel I was enthusiastic enough to jump on it. This took me by surprise. I was quite upset with their sneaky and unprofessional way of handling this (they gave me 7 days to think and afterwards blamed me for not being eager to sign the contract immediately). Nevertheless, I was also happy to have discovered their true nature and how little they care about the employees before committing to this company. I would have been probably much more screwed if I signed the contract.
A phone screening with HR and a test after. A test consisted of copy editing and formatting which is not exactly the main project coordinator activities so it seemed odd that they are treated as a prerequisite for getting a job.
First call with HR, then with Dept Manager, then in-person interview with hiring managers. The whole process was quick, hiring managers were lovely and the questions were aligned with the role. Interview with Detp Manager was easy.
5 interviews (1 in person) for an entry level position and 2700-3300 salary/month. Told me only at 2nd interview that I'm expected to work overtime and weekends all the time.
