Pros

Good benefits, work flexibility, and fair compensation. Depending on the department tuition reimbursement may be available. Employees can have pride in Lenovo because of their goal to build high quality products and provide excellent service. Lenovo market share is growing which is refreshing to see compared to the IBM PC company.

Cons

Smaller and less experienced teams are challenged to complete requirements at the level expected. Most execs, managers, and their departments are not system thinkers and the performance measurement system is department and org based. The result is they care about the contribution within the boundaries of the department or org. Performance measurement is highly political and subjective. It is very difficult to move around the company unless you are a favored one. It is not encouraged to try new things or take calculated risks at the manager or lower levels. Failing is not an option even if new learning resulted from the failure that resulted in insights that drove revolutionary opportunities.
