I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at TransPerfect (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Relatively easy phone interview, more informational/ to get a feel for my career goals. second step was a draft checking test, to see how detail-oriented you are and how well you'd function in the role. finally, they invited me in for an in-person interview, in which i met with someone from hr as well as two of my would-be supervisors. that was just a week ago, waiting to hear back. I've heard there tend to be multiple rounds of in-person interviews, so we'll see.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Transperfect? What do you know about OneLink? (specific division I applied for)
very long, 5+interviews, and then they don't get back to you soon enough. HR tells you what you want to hear then they don't follow through on the benefits mentioned.
Very lenghty process with several follow ups with no response. Turnover is I understand very high. Could be a good stepping stone as a junior but that is all. Team seem alright.
I did lots of interviews, got great feedback on each one. After the final one I was ghosted for weeks without a response. I reached out and they eventually replied and lowballed me with an insulting offer, much lower than normal for the role. I will never apply to work for them again. I think they were holding out to get someone cheaper.

There was a lot of textbook scenario questions, how would you handle this situtation etc.
