Pros

The benefits are reasonable pay could be better but overall a great entry level point. The Raleigh location is fabulous, low cost of living and surrounded by other technology companies incase you want to make a career change. The work culture is generally good. Lenovo Happy Thursdays are always fun to look forward too.

Cons

Many trips traveling to China where the company is based. In order to move up the ladder expect to relocate often or take a position in China. If you are not familiar with the Chinese culture, you are at a disadvantage. Expect to work long hours and little outside life.

Pros

Lenovo builds high quality PC's that are better built and designed than the competition.

Cons

As an organisation, Lenovo is very good at moving goal posts rapidly to the benefit of the organisation and detriment of the employees. The organisation is continuosly looking at ways of lowering expenses to the point where the good employees capable of working elsewhere leave and those who remain aren't as good and are over worked. Even worse is when they are off shored and as an employee you have to over come time zones, language barriers and cultural differences to complete a simple task, this may be a finance task, operations task, HR task or accounts receivable task. Lenovo has been working to improve several key elements of the business, but after the 3 years since splitting from IBM are yet to materialise. Areas of improvement such as online ETA's, online ordering, CTO etc are all still way off but have been in the pipeline for years. The organisation also suffers from having a lack of accountability in many areas, accessing useful meaningful data is nigh on impossible and there is a lack of people that know how to get things done and that the processes these people know about are not documented anywhere for reference.

Pros

We are in the middle of a bold experiment of combining the innovative forces around the globe to forma truly global organization. It is fun to be part of this thinking.

Cons

We are still a relatively unknown brand which makes our jobs harder to get an easy access to new customers. This requires more hard work and innovative thinking from all to be successful.
