Pros
Qualifications for entry level work are not very demanding, but this comes with a cost. Lionbridge offers competitive rates to its customers by hiring less qualified test engineers for less pay. They take it out of YOUR paycheck and resources YOU need to get the job done.
Cons
All employees are hired on as flex-pool to start with. This means no guarantee of steady work and no benefits (no health insurance, dental insurance, retirement matching, etc.). Out of fairness, they will tell you this before you are hired. What they will not emphasize is how rarely they hire on full time employees and even more rarely will you see a leadership promotion available (because that IS the only type of promotion available). Many Lionbridge employees will agree that promotions have not been handed out fairly over the past year. I could go on about the absurd politics and clouded judgment of upper management at the Boise site, but I'm sure that you will read the opinions of others here with REAL disdain for the company. I tend to feel more loyalty to the customer than to Lionbridge.
