The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TransPerfect (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
I actually really enjoyed this interview, the employees were very nice and everyone seemed very satisfied and happy with their company. They put me right at ease and I felt that it was a very successful interview. I didn't end up getting the job for one main reason, I got another offer 3 days after the interview and accepted it before they could get back to me with an offer (it was the position that I really wanted, was closer to my location and I was more qualified for it) I made them aware of this and within a week I received an email declining my services, no harm, no foul. If I were in the job market in the future, I would certainly consider applying there again. It seemed like a pleasant place to work and the view from their NYC office is worth it alone. I wish them the best of luck!

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Highly outdated process with very rude interviewers.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.
