Pros

Lenovo sells a wide range of products: servers, storage, PCs, laptops, tablets and phones. Potential to touch a large swath of the IT customers.

Cons

Lenovo == layoffs. NEVER ever sign with this company without an exit plan (stock options or buyout). They continually lay people off every quarter regardless of performance. Technical management is inept at best, and the #1 position in PCs is smoke and mirrors. They bought other companies are quickly "outsourcing" everything to low-cost cheap China creation (hence the security bugs and continuous hardware quality problems). This company aspires to be Apple but lacks the creativity, technical skills and commitment. The CEO barely speaks English -- his continuous broken English is an embarrassment to all Lenovo employees.

Readers, please take this comment with a grain of salt. Much of this is incorrect. We value constructive criticism on this site. But many of the claims here are gross exaggerations. Some of the comments have validity, such as we aspire to be innovators, and we are the #1 PC company in the world. Our CEO continues to be listed in major publications as one of the best in the world. Our company is global and values employees from all countries and expects respectful points of view from our employees. Lenovo has thousands of employees in various countries and we all work together as a single global company to achieve our clear goals. We do not typically expect people to work on Saturdays, nor do we make a habit of letting our top talent go...we have had a recent reduction do to reshaping our company due to a needed transformation to PC+ after 2 major acquisitions. We do wish you the best and ask while you are working at Lenovo to always to your best and help resolve any issues you see. We are glad you see issues, that means we can get better....it is important to share your concerns so we can improve. Please feel free to contact your manager or HR to discuss your concerns as we are here to help.
