Pros

Autonomy, room to grow, good compensation, unlimited time off, great maternity/paternity policy, flexible hours and location.

Cons

Constant change in org structure, reactive (rather than proactive) approach to most workflow, noticeable incompetence or lack of character in select leadership, big learning curve for new employees, easy to get lost in large employee group. Generally, I would say that *for the right person* this is a great place to work. If you are a self-starter with a stellar ability to know yourself, your boundaries and your skills, you'll do great. If you are a "yes man," the workload might just eat you alive. If you thrive on energy and are motivated by a good challenge, you'll love the excitement of the matrixed, evolving organization. If you like stability and predictability, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are making strides to improve work-life balance. We have recently implemented changes in our business structure to help support 'One Lenovo' to encourage breaking of silos within our business units. Additionally, we are also meeting our employees with more flexibility and adapting more and more to the expectations of employees and "the new normal". Our new and improved Employee Value Proposition was created by employees in mind and it shows our dedication to deliver all that they need and find the most valuable. With that in mind, our new parental leave policy gives all expecting parents equitable benefits so you and your families are taken care of. If employees are out of the office on parental leave, Lenovo also offers managers the opportunity to create a new project team, or gig, to help provide support to your team while you are away or even give employees the opportunity to work on a special short-term project. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and do hope that we can continue to partner to make us a stronger One Lenovo. If you have any additional topics you'd like to discuss further, we encourage you to speak with your HR representative.

Not a great place to work at

Pros

Benefits and bonus payouts were nice (when you actually received them)

Cons

Where do I even start. Company is not competitive at all when it comes to pay. Expect to be overworked and underpaid. Did I mention being micromanaged? Also Engineers get scrutinized and observed under a microscope. Company plays favorites heavy and if you're not one of them don't expect to move up. If you have a unique set of skills that no one else has then you will get used for that and afterwards you become a thing of the past. Definitely not worth all the stress and time spent there.

Pros

good stepping stone. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

for a company that touts itself as a global company, they sure have no idea how to treat their employees. They decided this year that they won't be paying any commissions in November and December to people that were over 100% to quota or greater in the prior half (lenovo paid on halves until recently). They didn't notify anyone in writing or tell anyone until two days before the first commission check was due. If you are looking to get your feet wet at a vendor, apply here but leave as soon as you can. The communication is terrible. Management is terrible. starting with Kevin Hooper and working all the way down. expect a new headache every month.
