Pros

Great benefits, and some good ideas, but they steal them from you. DO NOT INNOVATE FOR LENOVO. THEY WILL CHEAT YOU!!!

Cons

I am being laid off October 31, this year. I created, so far, 48 patents for Lenovo. They are now telling me when I am laid off I will not be paid for any patents that I have not signed over rights to. This totals around 30,000 dollars. So, they hired me a year and a half ago, exploited my intellectual property, and then laid me off, still owing me around 30,000 dollars for the patents. Not good business for a 'technology' firm. Do not expect to stick around if you get a job here.
