Pros

1 . Good work environment, nice office. 2 . Good company if you are a fresher and want to learn new things. 3. Better to gain some experience and move on to some other good company.

Cons

I don't know where to start... 1 . This is a kanjoos company, so don't expect any money. 2 . Management usually hires freshers as traines for very less wage and expect from them to work like a senior technical author. 3 . Work pressure is very high, they expect us to keep record for each production hours required for a particular work order. 4. There is not a single time, I remember that I had asked for a leave and management has accepted it. They are very reluctant when it comes to leave. Every time you have to come up some damn reason to apply for any leave. 5 . There are no extra facilities provided by the company, like bus service etc. For tea /coffee also you have pay from your own pocket. Even call centres have better facilities for there employees. 6 . There is lot of internal politics in the team. Senior employees don't help juniors. 7 . Whole team is working from multiple different locations, due to which production is suffering. 8 . Appraisal is just a eye wash, even after working for 2 years, starting salary for freshers in other companies is better than this company. 9.job is very boring and repetitive, so don't expect any job satisfaction.

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.
