      Direction Seriously Lacking in Enterprise Group

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lenovo is an aggressive company that has proven they can sell a lot of product. If they can do with Enterprise Group what they did with PC Group ten years ago, then they will easily take the #1 spot in server sales.

      Cons

      Following the transfer of Enterprise Group from IBM to Lenovo there has been a horrible lack of unified direction from management. We've all been told to stop thinking and acting as we had been at IBM but we've been given no good guidance or role models on how to think and act now. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line managers don't appear to be receiving guidance either, as they often contradict each other and the message from YY and other company leaders. We've been through heavy downsizing and reorganization which, coupled with the lack of strong direction, is creating an environment of uncertainty and low morale.

      Management in EBG Business Group is worst with no vision and growth prospects

      Pros

      Nothing I can think of. Full of politics . No Career growth, security of job and highly inconsistent organization

      Cons

      Management is just dumb. Program director or executive directors do not have any thing to direct. Highly political and no respect for senior people. Only they are thinking is on reducing the head count. Please do not join this sinking boat . You will ruin your career.

      Thank you for your feedback. For those who don't know, Lenovo made a major acquisition recently from IBM. Lenovo bought it to fix it for long term success. Right now, we are going through some short term growing pains. The EBG group is under transition with the goal of increasing revenue with a lower cost. Lenovo has done this before with great success. 10 years ago, Lenovo bought the IBM PC division. Most thought it wouldn't go well. There was initial pain, but now, Lenovo is the #1 PC company in the world. Please have patience...we are aware of the issues and have a plan. Thank you for your time so far with Lenovo.

      Pros

      Excellent salary and time off. Good choices for benefit plans, and nice amenities on the campus sites. Good R&D and diversification of product and service makes them very stable in the market.

      Cons

      Global teams means that you work all the time to accommodate Asia time zone as well as your own. Managers do attempt to be flexible but reality intervenes. The more functions that are moved to China means that loss of knowledge can get to a critical point quickly, resulting in stress and frustration to meet deadlines. Flat management structure means that teams are empowered, but there is little opportunity for promotion.
