      Management in EBG Business Group is worst with no vision and growth prospects

      Pros

      Nothing I can think of. Full of politics . No Career growth, security of job and highly inconsistent organization

      Cons

      Management is just dumb. Program director or executive directors do not have any thing to direct. Highly political and no respect for senior people. Only they are thinking is on reducing the head count. Please do not join this sinking boat . You will ruin your career.

      Thank you for your feedback. For those who don't know, Lenovo made a major acquisition recently from IBM. Lenovo bought it to fix it for long term success. Right now, we are going through some short term growing pains. The EBG group is under transition with the goal of increasing revenue with a lower cost. Lenovo has done this before with great success. 10 years ago, Lenovo bought the IBM PC division. Most thought it wouldn't go well. There was initial pain, but now, Lenovo is the #1 PC company in the world. Please have patience...we are aware of the issues and have a plan. Thank you for your time so far with Lenovo.

      Both good and bad

      Pros

      Excellent salary and time off. Good choices for benefit plans, and nice amenities on the campus sites. Good R&D and diversification of product and service makes them very stable in the market.

      Cons

      Global teams means that you work all the time to accommodate Asia time zone as well as your own. Managers do attempt to be flexible but reality intervenes. The more functions that are moved to China means that loss of knowledge can get to a critical point quickly, resulting in stress and frustration to meet deadlines. Flat management structure means that teams are empowered, but there is little opportunity for promotion.

      Too many changes, loss of talent

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice people. Good friends. Commissions were great a few years ago... Easy to make six figures as an inside rep at that time.

      Cons

      Commission structure changes constantly and for the worse, year by year. Micro-management. Very open workplace means you will constantly get sick. Managers use their influence to try to sell you "home party" clothes and jewelry. The company only hires brand new college grads now and as a result much less talent. Senior leadership is all men, no diversity.

      Thanks for your feedback. I would recommend that you mention your specific concerns to HR so we can address them appropriately...as some of what you mention is not a common issue. You have some good suggestions regarding compensation and flexibility. We do want to have solid career paths for both experienced employees as well as those that have less experience. Our interest is that we can provide a great work environment for all of our employees. Your input was helpful. Thanks!
