Favoritism Rules

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Strong Brand Recognition, Great Co-Workers, good products

Cons

Toxic Leadership throughout the Mid and Upper Mgt ranks. Favoritism is rampant and continued Layoffs are perfect example. Strong and consistent sales producers are getting axed in favor of “brown nosing” underlings who buddy up to leadership. Ex IBMers continue to cover for each other, snd are threatened by newcomers with deep industry experience. Work loads are unbearable, yet middle management turn a blind eye to the low morale.

Pros

Probably the only thing is brand so that people can recall it’s the company who sells pc

Cons

The whole culture is very Asian / Chinese based. For some teams, it’s very male dominated. Men have the absolute power on decisions, women can only listen. You may be allowed to speak out your thoughts but eventually no use at all. They sponsor people from overseas who do not have any culture fit which makes work harder. Pushing is the only way to get result what they want without appreciation. Some people look nice but political, the rest all live in another culture. Lenovo is just a based Sydney company but not Australian at all, people you work with has problem control themselves emotions, easily go stress then you are the only one to hold the crap. Senior knows that without taking any actions, HR procedure is a joke, pretty useless. They just don’t care. Very micromanaging, some one just really want to know what you are doing based on minutes, and if you didn’t reply in 5mins, they will get angry

Toxic Place

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good colleagues, but nothing else.

Cons

Toxic Work Environment: Working at this company feels like a never-ending nightmare. From the moment I joined, I was exposed to a culture of fear, intimidation, and backstabbing. It's a daily struggle to navigate the political landmines just to keep your job. Poor Leadership: The company is rife with incompetent and unqualified leadership. It's not uncommon to witness leaders belittling employees, displaying favoritism, and making arbitrary decisions that negatively impact the team. They lack transparency and often hide crucial information from employees. Unreasonable Expectations: The workload at this company is beyond excessive, and you're expected to work long hours, including nights and weekends, without overtime pay. The constant pressure to meet unrealistic targets takes a toll on your mental and physical health. Lack of Respect for Work-Life Balance: The company doesn't respect the concept of work-life balance. Expect to be on call 24/7, even during your vacations or personal time. It's nearly impossible to disconnect from work, leading to burnout and strained personal relationships. High Turnover: Due to the toxic environment, poor leadership, and excessive demands, the company experiences a high turnover rate. Talented employees leave as soon as they find better opportunities, which further contributes to the toxic cycle. Stagnant Career Growth: Career growth and development opportunities are virtually non-existent. Promotions are based on favoritism rather than merit, and it's disheartening to see hardworking individuals overlooked for advancement. In conclusion, this company is a prime example of a toxic work environment. If you value your mental and emotional well-being, I strongly advise you to steer clear of this organization. Look for companies that respect their employees, promote a healthy work-life balance, and provide growth opportunities. Your career and overall happiness deserve better than what this company has to offer.
