Love working at Lenovo

Pros

The employees are very entrepreneurial and the products are very innovative.I love supporting and teaming with internal customers in all geographies. The IT support engineers from China are well trained and each love working directly with US users. The Morrisville / Davis drive facilities are great including the staff supporting the cafeteria and on-site gym.

Cons

The base pay is significantly below market rate and after working all day, you are expected to give up your evenings for conference calls. The benefits, bonuses and site office environment make up for some of the intrusion into your family time. Too much over head in management ranks leads to constant reorganization and conflicting direction/vision to staff.

Thanks for your comments and time at Lenovo. We too love our entrepreneurial employees. Our employees, like Lenovo itself, tend to be quick, nimble and flexible. Lenovo is a company that offers empowerment to our staff. We are a large company, but we have smaller teams where you can make a big difference. Not all roles have night calls. This sometimes occurs in global roles due to team members being in other time zones as we are a global company. We are in the midst of a transition to a PC+ company and have had recent layoffs to size our company correctly. Actions like this are sometime seen negatively by our employees, with good reason, but are necessary for the long term health and prosperity and success of our business. Our pay is not seen as significantly below market rate according to major compensation studies. Thanks for your feedback.

No work life balance

Pros

Decent compensation. Bonus is good compraring to other companies in the area. Young people have opportunities to try challenging projects

Cons

No work life balance. Conference calls almost every evening on weekdays. Too many layers of management, some senior managers don't even have any direct report Ambiguous company culture, if there is any culture after all. There are way to many executives. Several hundreds of them. People who do real works - engineers for example got laid off all the time.

Thank you for your feedback and your time while with us. Work life balance is always a challenge if you are global. You'd need to work with your manager to assure there are not excessive off hours calls (due to time zones).

Pros

Generous vacation, health benefits, profit sharing, on site medical office, small but decent gym.

Cons

Zero effort taken to encourage employees to stay or be more productive. Afraid to spend money on anything. No future for US EBG employees with most job roles and functions moving to China. Poor direction and communication from executives and management. Nepotism is incredibly high with higher skilled employees losing jobs to executive favorites.

Firstly, thank you for your time while with Lenovo. Lenovo is undergoing a transition with the X86 Server business that was acquired from IBM. We do not expect immediate results, but we do expect good long term results. I would not say there is no future for EBG employees...in fact, Lenovo has made a large commitment to this team. We just need to make more revenue at a lower cost. Best wishes to you.
