Pros

-Work at customers sites then from home when not traveling. -Being away from Morrisville shields me from all the office politics, antics etc. -Good benefit package including profit sharing. -Company seems more dynamic than IBM

Cons

-As a traveling consultant my travel perks have suffered compared to IBM (lower quality hotels, no per-diem) -Since this is a Chinese company, we lost most (if not all) government x86 accounts. That translates in millions of dollars in revenue lost. -Cuts, cuts and more cuts. Although I appreciate a company running lean without so much deadweight, it's also scary to see people being let go. -The future quality of the x86 server line concerns me if the development work is going to be offshored to "low-cost geographies" in my experience low-cost=low-quality.

Thanks for your feedback. We do share your concern about quality. We would never do anything to jeopardize that. Many thought the ThinkPad would decline when we bought the IBM PC division due to the same concern. What happened? Record sales and a jump from nowhere to the #1 PC company in the world! So we do have a track record of quality and success. We intend to do the same with Servers. Also, Lenovo never takes any actions that impact someone's employment lightly. Our goal is to hire the best, and keep them long term.

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.
