Pros

Remote/work from home/make your own hours Decent hourly rate for the work Small bonuses offered from time to time Ability to work extra hours some weeks

Cons

There is no stability at this job, and you are completely disposable. Your work quality scores are based on a selection of an average of 10 tasks per month, and while most of it makes sense some parts don't at all. All training is literally repeated content from the training manuals which is fine for those starting out, but doesn't provide additional value if you have further questions or need help with a specific task. Communication is very poor - I was put on quality review and restricted from working, which I expected even though for the most part my scores were very high, and received no communication for over four weeks until I received a separation of employment letter. I'm pretty sure nobody ever performed a quality review of my work. I would have appreciated not having to wait over a month to find out - I could have started another job and not lost out on a month's worth of wages. Also - you give the client access to your phone, who knows what they look at.

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. If your current position is not working out for you there may be opportunities to join a different team and expand your skill set. 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. Onboarding Process: The initial onboarding process might benefit from more structure or support to help new employees acclimate quickly.

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.
