They are scammers, please run away from them. They never stop asking for money against nothing. It is not only the issue that you will not get paid for your job, it is beyond that , you will find yourself paying more than the unpaid project budget from your own pocket.

Very disappointing - very amateurish. Exploitive.
I'm quite amazed that such a long established and large online organisation, has such a poor quality of technical operation, and management.
I have done work for this company off and on for a number of years, and in summary, I would say that they are generally incompetent, due to having continuous technical issues, which never seem to be resolved - despite constantly notifying them. Ultimately, this results in it costing you time in trying to sort things out. And you never get compensated for all of your wasted time.
I have over 25 years online IT / full stack experience - and I can tell you that some of their technical glitches are basic, and easily resolved, if the right people were involved to sort things out. Sadly though, when raising a support ticket, you often get the same answer; "we are aware of the problem - please keep notes, and contacting us with any further problems". I'm aware of some crucial technical glitches, which have been happening for over 1 year!
One major problem, is actually getting paid for the work you've done. They often rely on you to raise a support ticket, just to get paid what you are owed. I wonder how much free work they are getting off thousands of people.
Some of their training is poorly written, ambiguous, and badly organised. And their client portal is poorly organised, making it sometimes difficult to locate the correct information - which is very amateurish.
They are untrustworthy when it comes down to working tasks - and can suddenly stop work without prior notice.
In fact I've just discovered, that myself and others have not been paid for a portion of work - which once again, I will have to raise a support ticket for - again taking unpaid time, to chase what is legally mine.
Another one off task I took on with them, had a technical problem, which meant I took longer, just to try and make it work. After raising a support ticket, I was told later that the fault had been fixed (to me it seemed it hadn't been tested properly before being launched) and that [to get paid] I had to do the tasks again. I didn't get paid for all of the earlier failed attempts, due to their faulty setup.
The payment portal they use, makes it very difficult to accurately locate what you have actually been paid for - further giving them an advantage with their incompetency and exploitation.
Personally, I feel the company should be fully investigate by an independent 3rd party - and that the CEO and all senior personnel, be personally accountable for any proven exploitation or even illegal trading practices.
I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with such a bad operation as management.
My advice for anyone considering working for Lionbridge, is to be aware of technical problems, poor training, badly organised user interfaces, poor payment handling - and unreliable source of income. And of course your hourly rate will probably be below the minimum legal requirement - if you factor in all of the extra time you have to work, to resolve the technical, admin, training, and payment problems.

Proffesional scam company. Avoid them!
Scam. Run away from them.
They hide all the info, put you to work after a couple of 'exams', and if you're lucky you make a misery, 'but next month you'll do better, you'll see' they'll add.
Typical Scam Company paying for lawyers and marketing guys and using new slavery methods for real workers.
If you search properly, you'll find some groups of affected users. If you don't and just Google for 'Is Lionbridge scam' (as I did in the beginning), you'll find reviews written/paid by them (everything sounds really nice) in order to appear on top of the search results and hide the real reviews. Bunch of liars!
Just a tip: don't waste a minute with them!
