Lionbridge reviews

Bad managment (American higher-ups, not the on-site ones). An example: said higher-ups decided to resign from a kind of digital resources subscription for our site. Every attempt to let them know that it will bring production to a halt, buying all necessary resources will take some time and much more money than subscription worth proved unsuccessful. The day before the subscription was to be cancelled, someone, in an act of desperation, sent an e-mail to a finance department to get approximate cost of all resources necessary to properly perform work for our biggest client. The answer was that it was almost equal to the cost of 3-year subscription (including access to all available resources, not only those for the client). Just to give you an idea: my small team was dealing with around 160 clients in total, and we weren’t the only production team here… The person that asked the finances about the costs sent the response he got to all the higher-ups and only then they agreed to talk about the subscription. How are they supposed to properly manage the production or the corporation itself if they have no idea how exactly is it functioning?
