Pros

I have worked a couple of positions over the years with this company. But I will mainly rate the one I have had the most issue with to warn people. The pros is that this company is a big one so I wouldn't deter anyone from applying. Some positions may be more organized better than others. As an Internet Assessor about 7 years ago. I really liked it. That was before you were required to be an employee. But overall, I thought feedback with that position was good. It's not a job I would do today because the task are too heavy on changing to much and the job doesn't pay well from what you had to do initially.

Cons

This is good when why you are on a platform where there is some accountability in how some of these Project Mangers, etc communicate. With the transcription as well as a new project they have that isn't advertised, you can not trust their communication. Some of them do not give you project updates and ghost people. It's rude and cowardly . And being that it's happened more than once I find it a work culture thing when some of them don't have accountability such as a ticket being created where others can read like they have for one position. I don't know of some of these people are socially awkward or just superior and rude. But some of the social etiquette via email is poor. And this isn't everyone but I've seen it several times. This is why this is a problem, if there isn't any accountability, you don't know if they are picking their personal favorites or discriminating by not offering you work. Another thing, is that some of the English transcription guidelines are overly written and put together where the language isn't organized well. They were also shifty on how they reviewed your work to the point I personally did not trust these invisible graders or the project managers.

Pros

Supportive Leadership: The management team is approachable and genuinely invested in employee success, providing guidance and mentorship to help you reach your full potential. Career Development: There are numerous opportunities for professional growth, including training programs, workshops, and access to industry conferences, ensuring you continually advance your skills.

Work-Life Balance: Flexible scheduling options and remote work opportunities allow for a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal life. Recognition and Rewards: Employees are regularly acknowledged for their hard work and achievements, both through formal recognition programs and informal appreciation. Even if it is just a call out on a team meeting, it shows your hard work is not going unnoticed.

Cons

Rapid Changes: The company's dynamic nature means frequent shifts in priorities or objectives, which may be challenging for those who prefer stability. Resource Constraints: Occasionally, there might be limited resources which can impact the ability to execute projects efficiently. Communication Gaps: In a large organization, there can be occasional breakdowns in communication between departments, leading to misunderstandings or delays.

Pros

It has been very cool seeing the company evolve with the new AI and LLM Technologies. Going from a complex language services company to an AI-first complete content and AI Data Services company has opened many new doors. Lionbridge also focuses on promoting internal candidates first, giving us all the chance to strive for openings internally to grow our careers. I've been promoted multiple times in my 5+ years. We're surrounded by very intelligent and good people, and it's interesting solving new-world problems together as a global team. We're constantly working with team members and customers from all over the world, and get the chance to learn about the various personal and business cultures of so many.

Cons

No real Cons. It's not an easy industry to be in these days with things changing at this rapid a pace, but we keep up well. Never a dull moment, and never a new challenge around each corner, but a great team to always work it out with.
