Svantaggi
. The pay seemed* low* compared to a similar job I worked last year. I almost make more on unemployment but wish I were still working. . No notice before termination, even though my quality scores were high . The offshore ads support staff falsely accused me of fudging my hours and failed to acknowledge the courteous email I sent in response. . I was signed up to the company 401k plan without giving permission, so my personal information was shared with Fidelity, a company whose ethics seem questionable. . I had to pay 20% taxes on the 401K funds--unfair and exploitative for a position advertised as permanent. . The ads support people seem less than competent and professional, and might be machines based on their behavior. Both Google and Lionbridge seem to treat employees as disposable. The work amount and duration is unreliable. . You deserve better. Find a company that values you, treats you like a human being, and pays a living wage. Based on working in this position at Lionbridge, your long-term online, cellphone, and digital privacy well may be compromised. . Minimal benefits

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.

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.
