I interviewed at TransPerfect (New York, NY) in Jun 2010
Interview
The hiring process is a lengthy process involving several interviews. I personally had a Skype interview and then another Skype interview and then an interview in person. At least they were willing to pay my plane trip for the interview which was nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was a pretty standard interview. I honestly can't think of an unexpected question that threw me off balance.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at TransPerfect (New York, NY) in May 2012
Interview
I was contacted for an interview via email. The interviewer was extremely straight-forward about the questions. No small talk here. I led him through my resumé, and got questions like: on a scale from 1-10, how competitive are you? / can you name 3 instances in which being competitive served to your advantage / what are you strengths and weaknesses? / why do you want to work at Transperfect and how did you hear about . There weren't any huge curveballs.
