Pros

Flexible work environment, good pay, facilities were nice, bonuses were decent. Working from home was allowed and had the newest, most powerful systems to use to develop on

Cons

Its a Chinese company, focused around the china teams, you will work all hours of the day, mostly on projects that will get canned, or hack jobs used as a band-aid to save the company face

Pros

- Can honestly say that the products are great, buy them myself for my family - There are good perks ... in general, benefits are on basically on par with similar companies - Flexibility at work is fairly good, especially when life issues happen.

Cons

- Poor talent recognition and proper compensation. It's very clear how rewards are done based on management preferences versus actual workload and achievements. - After resource reductions, remaining employees have to absorb other jobs ... for free. Even when after hours work (night conf calls) might increase significantly. - Changing jobs within the company is hardly ever financially attractive - Moral is at all times low, many people in important roles are looking for other jobs

Love working at Lenovo

Pros

The employees are very entrepreneurial and the products are very innovative.I love supporting and teaming with internal customers in all geographies. The IT support engineers from China are well trained and each love working directly with US users. The Morrisville / Davis drive facilities are great including the staff supporting the cafeteria and on-site gym.

Cons

The base pay is significantly below market rate and after working all day, you are expected to give up your evenings for conference calls. The benefits, bonuses and site office environment make up for some of the intrusion into your family time. Too much over head in management ranks leads to constant reorganization and conflicting direction/vision to staff.

Thanks for your comments and time at Lenovo. We too love our entrepreneurial employees. Our employees, like Lenovo itself, tend to be quick, nimble and flexible. Lenovo is a company that offers empowerment to our staff. We are a large company, but we have smaller teams where you can make a big difference. Not all roles have night calls. This sometimes occurs in global roles due to team members being in other time zones as we are a global company. We are in the midst of a transition to a PC+ company and have had recent layoffs to size our company correctly. Actions like this are sometime seen negatively by our employees, with good reason, but are necessary for the long term health and prosperity and success of our business. Our pay is not seen as significantly below market rate according to major compensation studies. Thanks for your feedback.
