Pros

Incredible, caring people. Commitment to work/life balance. Generous compensation (for the area). This really was a great company, a blend of "old economy" manufacturing and operational sense with "new economy" innovation and customer-focus. The company is (was) dedicated to making an impact on their employees and their community: "We the employees ARE Lexmark" used to be true.

Cons

It's difficult to overstate how lost this company is right now. The Kofax carpetbagger took ES, ravaged it, and now Lenexa is a ghost town. We're up for sale. Nobody wants to buy us. We have a bloated R&D spend, but they won't cut managers, just employees. Managers still act like nothing is wrong, like "this too shall pass". Not this time

Pros

Solid software team working with modern frameworks in the cloud. Products are simple but have complex and unique scaling needs across printer fleets and print release. Great people, even able to make long time friends.

Cons

Leadership is risk adverse. Coming from hardware their release processes can be burdensome and overly cautious. Innovation stagnates due to this but also, layoffs are a common place which creates concern and risks each year.
