I applied online. I interviewed at TransPerfect in Sep 2012
Interview
After I have applied online, I immediately got a response from a recruiter via email. He was very responsive and is ready to give me a phone interview. The interview lasted only about 15 mins, literally. It's more of getting to know me conversation and did not go over my resume at all. The guy seems like he is in a rush all the time. He missed read my email and called me in a wrong date and time. Plus I didn't like when he was in a hurry to hang up the phone on me.

Avoid this company no matter how desperate you are.
Highly outdated process with very rude interviewers. One interviewer did not even turn on camera for the interview. Does this company have any respect for the time and effort people put in when interviewing?
They also asked questions such as "How much do you want this job out of 10" , Clearly they are seeing how desperate people are to work in a toxic environment.
I would highly recommend to avoid contact with this company.
Phone interview, followed by criteria test and an in person test with the staff and senior growth manager. Phone interview isn't too bad just getting to know you. Criteria test was about 30mins, just basic IQ questions - problem solving and mental maths.
