Pros

Lenovo has inherited much of the IBM culture it acquired through the PC business and then later with the low end server business, but has spun a very Chinese approach to it which has made the company challenging to work with or for. To succeed there you must find an executive sponsor and spend many hours a week sucking up to that individual if you want to last past any of the many resource actions that take place. Be especially wary of HR as this company empowers the HR function to control many aspects of day to day internal business at the company.

Cons

A "click" based culture. If you dont suck up you will be left out.

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.
