Lionbridge Technologies Employer Reviews

I like Lionbdridge because it is a work at home company that allows you to set you're own time and makes the individual responsible to enter in their time into the provided time sheet.

Over a period of several years I saw everything from lack of training to not having the necessary equiptment to do the job. Mgmt also sucks one several mgmt. people have been fired for gross incompetence then rehired. My favorite "Dilbert" moment was a "MANDITORY celebration" (their words) in which we got to watch management pat themselves on the back – more... for an hour and a half for all their hard work which involved having their staff do everything while they were absent. – less

This is a decent job for recent high school graduates. The pay is good enough to start with, and there are often advancements offered to apply for. The hardest part of the job was the monotony. While testing you're not allowed to listen to music or read, you have to watch your units until they are done, sometimes it can be 30-45 minutes. It wasn't terrible – more... but it can be tiring having so much down time in between the spurts of report writing. – less

My time at lionbridge was good. I did lots of mistakes there and i have decided to rectify it when i am working with other companies. It was a very learning experience as this was my first job and i assure that i will take that experience in future for productivity of company.

A typical day for this job finds me sitting down at the desk in front of the computer and logging on to the system to obtain work throughout the day. Understanding what internet users are searching for and what their intent is, is critical to doing the job successfully. In addition to learning what the user's intent is, you also have to learn different – more... ways to make sure user's get the results desired. Time management skills is a must. You make your own hours but there are a minimum amount of hours an Assessor must work. The hardest part of the job is taking advantage of doing the work while it is present. The next day you may not have to do. So sometimes, for example, you will work 4 hours and other times 10 hours a day. The most enjoyable park of this job is the flexibility and learning something new everyday. – less

I come to work and do my job with little hassle from management.
I have learned a lot about network storage and server applications.

I worked at the Derby office as a Technical Author working on RR publications.

The office is ran ok, but the project management for the RR project is woeful. The project is lurching from disaster to disaster like a drunken sailor on shore leave.

The company is so frightened of upsetting the customer it readily agrees with them even when their decisions – more... make no logical sense what soever. They have made decisions that have caused an awful lot of problems and reworking of publications at an horrendous cost.

The hardest part of the day is that the more established staff regard anybody that has more experience of the specifications used on the project as a threat to their position and they make sure you are given the worst jobs that they can find to keep you out of being able to give advice that could make them look bad.

The company is ran on a shoestring so as to maximize the profit margin of projects. Staff are made to pay for business expenses out of their own pockets and then made to wait until the company has billed the project and banked the money, in some cases it has been several weeks before staff got paid expenses, but managers dont have to pay put out their own pockets.

Staff have not had a payrise in over 5 years but managers have got massive bonuses for saving money. Gaps in wages between staff and managers is huge.

They recruit trainee staff so as to keep wages low, expect them to fill an experienced staff members role. They then delay their training completion so as to not give them a payrise

There is a very, very high turnover of staff (particularly the non-ex Rolls Royce staff). They are told that because of their experience they will be needed to steer the project in the right direction, the more established staff make sure that they are isolated and are too busy doing the worst jobs, because they think they will be sidelined by the new staff. – less
