Pros

Doing their best to change.

Cons

Change comes with change management. There is no change management at all at Lennar. There is a LOT of politics to effectively to get results. Zero empowerment and lack of transparency from senior management to middle management, and business analysts basically are instructed to work in silos - literally. . Senior Management at the IT Department does not have management training, it is extremely micro-management. Again, no empowerment or delegation. Very tactical, with no clear priorities that constantly change, on a daily basis there is a Stand-Up meeting to get approval on new requirements.

Pros

Receive experience and that's about all.

Cons

Absolutely no training or upward mobility. People here are very stressed by upper level management. Poor company attitude. Everyone seems to be down all the time. Company refuses to pay bonuses and will give you 100 reasons why they can't pay you.

Pros

Part of large publicly traded homebuilder, Lennar, with significant brand recognition that may or may not be an advantage in commercial real estate. The company is fairly entrepreneurial for its size even though it is plagued by all the bureaucracy that comes with any large organization.

Cons

Lennar Commercial (LC) is the commercial real estate division of Lennar Homes. LC lacks any strategic direction whereby all the failings to develop leadership, organization, strategy, resources, and capability are placed squarely on the employee to overcome, no matter what the circumstances or how ridiculous the objective is. Without any strategic vision or coherent organization, Lennar Commercial is a directionless, frenetic place reflecting the personalities of the leadership. Without a mission, shared values, or common goals to guide the team, the leadership is dictatorial, mercurial, impatient, and capricious. Despite what could be overwhelming financial, brand, and synergistic resources provided by the parent company, Lennar Commercial lacks any strategy or vision to deploy such resources in any effective way or to position itself in a manner that would differentiate itself from its competitors.
