Pros

As an employee, you are entitled to receive compensation in the form of a paycheck. Name recognition among a few people.

Cons

- Complete lack of transparency from management - Willing and eager to transfer white collar jobs to China, eliminate American jobs - Bidding process favors Chinese vendors and may be rigged - YY's vision and tactics are outdated - Absolutely no guidance from Chinese bosses, just constant questions about what value one brings as an employee

Thanks for your comments. YY is one of the most recognized CEO's in the world for what he has done to date. We are in the middle of a major transition from PC only to PC+, including 2 massive acquisitions at the same time. This was a very aggressive yet necessary move for Lenovo. Yes, we took actions globally that impacted jobs out of necessity. This was very unfortunate and we wish everyone affected the very best. The bottom line is our overall cost was too high. You may want to communicate your concerns about management to HR, because proper guidance and communication is key. You may also want to consider there may be cultural differences that you should try to understand and see your team through a positive lens. This may help a lot. But if you are truly just working for a paycheck, you are not helping Lenovo or yourself and you may negatively affecting others. You need to decide....if you are committed to improve Lenovo or if you are better off starting over elsewhere. Whatever you decide, you have our support. Thanks for your time with us.

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

Good place to work overall, kind people. Generally competent practitioners

Cons

Company is very slow to change. Executive leadership does not care about employee work-life balance at all. Was routinely expected to be on calls as early as 6AM and as late as midnight on the same day. When I raised concerns about sustainability, I was put on a PIP
