Pros

No pros. Only you are getting salary and experience letter. Join only if you're jobless or a South Indian.

Cons

No job security at all. Shame to call it MNC. They give 7000 rupees per month ($100/month) offer for a fresher Engineer. This is a joke. Very less or no increment every year. High on politics, Seniors won't let you learn and improve your skills and will put you down in front of the management. South Indian based company in Mumbai, Airoli. In 7000 rupees ($100/month) they force employees to come on Saturdays and Sundays for 12hrs.

Worst organization to work for

Pros

Work pressure is less compare to other MNC companies, if don't want to grow in career and happy with stagnant job, then you can join Lionbridge.

Cons

List of Cons are endless: 1. Very stagnant job, nothing new to learn, you will be bored in few months by doing same repetitive work again and again 2. Micro management has cross a limit in Mumbai office, they will not tolerate if you didn't complete proper 9 hours, even if it is less than just a one or two minutes. your break timings, in and out time, away time, everything will be monitored. whereas, if you stay extra to complete project work, don't accept any appreciation from management. 3. Zero motivation given to employees, how much you have worked doesn't matter, how much you have licked your boss shoes required to grow in this company. 4. Most of the employees are old and part of Lionbridge for more than 15 years, and entire management is in their hand. They never listen, motivate to new joiners, doesn't matter how much qualified the new member is. 5. nothing new to learn, as most of the employees are old and they are not all passionate about their career, you will start feeling getting backward in your career. 6. getting leaves from management is most difficult part of this organization, I have seen a lot of employees resigning from a job because there leaves are not approved. 7. Every high attrition rate, instead of focusing on retaining good employees, they keep on putting employees on PIP without proper reason, like if they don't like you and keep on firing. and then again keep on hiring new employees and waste more than 2 to 3 months just for new employees training, what a waste of money. 8. Zero facilities for employees, not even a pick up and drop service, very unhygienic food in canteen, only 700 rupees for spot award, which you will hardly get in a year, no incentive, amount of money is deducted from your salary and given to you in October in a name of bonus. 9. lastly HR team is worst of Lionbridge, don't accept any help from them if your managers are playing around with you, even they support managers to ruin your career and terminate you. lots of deduction in salary, their Mediclaim is worst and expensive. Few months back HR deducted an amount from all employees salary in a name of new implemented government PF rule, that too without informing employee and later that money is forcefully given to employees through food coupon, which they didn't even want to have. this really looks a scam to me in a name of selling third party food coupon to employees.

Worst working culture ever

Recommend

Pros

It's a good company for the people who are not ambitious and don't mind working with the same position for 5 or 10 years.

Cons

Worst working culture ever. Being a Multinational giant in localization it fails in behaving like one MNC. PMs are not the leaders they are the school teachers. Please don't join this company. You will be watched every time. Your breaks, away times on Skype, login logout times will be monitored and the PMs will ask you for justification for your extended breaks or even away times. PMs literally micro manage your moves on the floor. Where are you go, with whom you talk. If you have a certain friend circle which is quite possible, your line Managers will try to break that also. They have no work but to interfere in employees personal lives. They stoop so low to keep a close eye on your moves as if you are not working you are a terrorist. No values and polluted work culture. I could feel it in mere 6 months.
