I have 3 years of working experience-.

My career, experience and knowledge gained with the company.

If a company is getting anything good about my lie means I will talk. Otherwise, I don't blame my company and your company.

It's completely depending upon the situation. At that time, I will consider the company reputation and the disadvantages. But lying is not a good option. Because you have face consequences in the future. And the trust is most expensive thing in life. Once it broken we can't correct it.

I bet everyone lies for their company. When someone asks you how long it will take to complete a project for them, you lie and tell them it will take longer. This is because the nature of projects can change and so you lie to give yourself some leeway.

It depends on the nature of the lie and the consequences. Obviously, you shouldn't lie which will incriminate the company or be fraudulent, but there are lots of small and insignificant lies which are worth telling because they ultimately can make you more professional. If you promise you can get something done by X, but something comes up, surely it's better to say you can get it done by Y, thus giving yourself a bit more time?

Basically, no one wants to tell or listen to a lie and if our company is going true and well then there is no need to tell a lie.

After all, it will depend on the situation.
