Lionbridge Software Test Engineer reviews

Although my colleagues were wondeful, management was not so. I constantly had the feeling that they didn't really know what they were doing. Sometimes I was amazed that clients had not chosen other providers but that they continued working with us. I have heard, read and seen management lie to clients, I have seen them use google translate to get translations and then let us natives quickly double check for corectness. The clients could have done that themself instead of having to pay Lionbridge Tampere for very bad work. When I mentioned this to my supervisor, I was lied to and no longer booked for work unless they really needed me for something that no one else could do. Instead of fixing problems they are the masters of hiding problems from others and the clients. I never felt like I was part of a team, I felt like I was just a tool and nothing else. A tool in someone elses lieing game. Once I had menstrual cramps and could not come to work. I was told by management to get a grip on my problem or they would not book me anymore. After that I have had a bad taste in my mouth.

Terrible HR from the day I started until almost 2 years later when I left. Initially it took them 6 weeks to my paycheck to me because of internal input errors. My address was correct in one place but not the other. I know others that have had similar experiences. Then there were more Payroll errors as I left too and they initially shorted me approximately $800. I did eventually get all the money that they owed me, but I had to check in with them. The organization themselves seems really shady and that they do not care at all about their employees. Our project essentially got pushed out because they did not want to give any benefits to people that have worked for them for multiple years. There was also very little potential for growth and the job was very rote and did not require a lot of skill. The environment in my office was often one of depressed resignation. Perhaps other projects are better because I know that ours did have a unique dynamic at play... However, doubt it. I think there are too many things going on for this company and it creates a lot of mismanagement of resources and talent.
