Marketing Sucks!

Pros

Nothing besides salary that gets credited at the end of every month.

Cons

I guess an earlier review sort of summed up some of my thoughts, which said, "Lenovo has middle-aged men and women trying to sell to millennials." But having seen both the commercial and consumer business, I think there is a lot more to it. - Marketing team in Lenovo is a combination of islands - WW-Brand-Consumer-Rel-SMB-Social-Digital-Events/Regions/Countries. They are all disintegrated and work in silos. Each has their own agenda and brownie points to earn. - Middle & senior managers who have no clue how to do marketing. Lack of subject matter expertise clearly shows, and they don't bother to attend any trainings irrespective of their knowledge. - Bureaucratic to a large extent, it will take you months & years to get things done. There are so many so-called strategic ongoing projects to fix issues that you lose count. - Zero accountability (work neither impacts the top-line nor bottom line). This affects your ability to function after some time as an employee. - Appraisals are purely based on what your managers think about you. Work-life balance is questionable. Personal biases & favoritism is clearly evident. - Ultimately, you end up doing stakeholder management to keep your boss and other teams happy. - Zero transparency (you are ultimately treated as a foot soldier)

Pros

growth and profit, salary, package, colleagues are benevolent (except for a few upstarts)

Cons

"struggle for life". On boarding doesn't exist. Too much bureaucracy. Non stop activity without enough time to breath. Nothing is structured.

Pros

flexible working hours; good benefit; low pressure

Cons

middle level (ED-VP) leaders are really incompetent; politically correct is more important than anything.
