      Pros

      There are not many from the x86 server side. Overall they do take care of their employees. Lenovo will be successful but during this time of transition it is rough and moral is not good.

      Cons

      Lenovo is going through a business model change and a new direction for the x86 Server division. There have been layoffs every qtr since IBM's x86 server business moved to Lenovo and it will remain brutal until the business becomes profitable again.

      It's all about the numbers

      Pros

      Highly efficient and numbers driven. Operational efficiency is their secret sauce. They take the products that everyone else is making, and build them more efficiently and cheaper. Then take over the market. If you hit your numbers, you can be a star.

      Cons

      Forget about career development and managerial support. Your manager with change annually, you'll get no training (I had 1 day of training in 3 years) and growth only comes from personal motivation. In other words, your work is your life, or you won't make it. Employee turn over is high, you are highly replaceable. Unfortunately, the numbers game involves a lot of reporting. And you'll spend a good deal of time writing reports and filling out spreadsheets. The systems aren't set-up to spit out the numbers. This is not all bad, but go in with open eyes. If you can fly a jet, you'l be fine. If you are expecting to be taught how to fly better or possibly even different planes - look elsewhere. None of that is "in the budget".

      Lenovo is very strong operationally. We do have gaps in training. We typically hire top individuals since our teams are small. We usually expect our new hires to hit the ground running. We do not expect work to be your life. Work is part of your life....and if it is all of your life, there is a problem. I would suggest talking to HR about this. Perhaps we could help. Thanks for your feedback.
