Pros

The pay is higher than average for the area and the bonus structure is often very generous. The benefits are better than most other companies in the area with a great 401K matching plan

Cons

The executive leadership is not great. Many of the EDs and VPs are in that role because they have been there for so long, not because it was earned or deserved. Many do not make decisions that are best for the long term or future of the company. Lenovo does not want to invest time and resources in advancing their products, no chances are taken and oftentimes leadership does not listen to customer needs and wants. Their customer and user experience is by far one of the worst in the industry

Pros

I rack my brain trying to think of one.

Cons

Old boys network, horrible management that was spiteful. Directors and executives had grudges, no room for growth. Thought they could run their server and storage business like a PC business.

Pros

I had good 5 years of employment with this company during which I learned a lot of new tools and technologies. I started as a consultant there, but been proposed to convert to a full time because of my significant contributions to the project. I met there some extremely talented people, who now mostly moved to CA, WA or TX to work for Google, Facebook, Apple or Amazon. It was great to use some new Google technologies before they were advertised for other Google clients (Motorola was a Google company at that time).

Cons

Very shaky and unstable situation with the company revenues. Constant layoffs. Managers are a protected class while employees have to suffer for bad management decisions. Not AGILE environment (by the time when I left at least). Life/Work balance is not great, a lot of overtimes and very little or no recognition for achievements. Upper management changes sometimes meant 180 degrees turns in product development decisions.
