Pros

Good health benefits Good retirement and employer match

Cons

-Resource actions ongoing since November 2014: Contractor and Regular employees - All of that money spent on those buildings just to present an "illusion" when the actual reality is that those pretty buildings are virtual ghost towns - No product roadmap with absolutely no foreseeable future or direction of EBG - Don't give the "excuse" that EBG is in the process of restructuring when the number of vacant cubes outnumber the actual amount of employees still remaining between buildings 7 & 8

Is there HYPE? Not sure there is. Lenovo acquired a struggling business group from IBM in October. We are doing our best to fix that. That requires lower cost and higher revenue. I wouldn't suggest that there isn't a future in EBG any more than someone saying the same thing about the PC Group we acquired from IBM 10 years ago. That was hard initially too. But in the long run it went well, very well...In fact, Lenovo is #1 in PC's globally now and most thought it would fail. Time will tell if we can do the same again. There are current adjustments being made to the business to fix things that were broken. Some issues we knew about, some we didn't. Saying we are in transition is not an "excuse", it is reality. We do thank you for the time you worked for Lenovo and we wish you the very best.

Good place to work overall, kind people. Generally competent practitioners

Cons

Company is very slow to change. Executive leadership does not care about employee work-life balance at all. Was routinely expected to be on calls as early as 6AM and as late as midnight on the same day. When I raised concerns about sustainability, I was put on a PIP
