Pros

Good health benefits Good retirement and employer match

Cons

-Resource actions ongoing since November 2014: Contractor and Regular employees - All of that money spent on those buildings just to present an "illusion" when the actual reality is that those pretty buildings are virtual ghost towns - No product roadmap with absolutely no foreseeable future or direction of EBG - Don't give the "excuse" that EBG is in the process of restructuring when the number of vacant cubes outnumber the actual amount of employees still remaining between buildings 7 & 8

Is there HYPE? Not sure there is. Lenovo acquired a struggling business group from IBM in October. We are doing our best to fix that. That requires lower cost and higher revenue. I wouldn't suggest that there isn't a future in EBG any more than someone saying the same thing about the PC Group we acquired from IBM 10 years ago. That was hard initially too. But in the long run it went well, very well...In fact, Lenovo is #1 in PC's globally now and most thought it would fail. Time will tell if we can do the same again. There are current adjustments being made to the business to fix things that were broken. Some issues we knew about, some we didn't. Saying we are in transition is not an "excuse", it is reality. We do thank you for the time you worked for Lenovo and we wish you the very best.

Pros

Absolutely love my team, people, culture, and work events. Genuinely I can't think of any cons. 3 days in-person, 2 days remote. Best work life balance ever, and great pay. Even intern benefits are amazing

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

Interesting work, good benefits, talented colleagues

Cons

Terrible manager behavior, terrible work-life balance, with no recourse or support for employees. I joined and quickly found that the ED I reported to had no experience in the area he oversaw, would not listen to anyone who had experience, was mean to his team members, and set wildly unrealistic expectations without any clear direction or consistency. Bullying, meanness and pointless criticism were the norm, while leadership was completely lacking. And if you work on the Digital Transformation team, expect to spend from 8PM-11PM at night and early morning on calls, with little regard for sleep or work-life balance. The worst part was finding out that the HR team was already well aware of all these problems with my ED (the two other managers under him quit), and the leadership team had no intention of making any changes. So disappointing.
