Pros

Upon reaching your goal, you'll receive a rewarding compensation package

Cons

The company displays several critical shortcomings: a lack of work-life balance, a myopic focus on market share at the expense of employee well-being, fostering an inhumane working environment, and a toxic company culture. Additionally, there's a pervasive refusal to acknowledge poor decisions made by top management, a failure to develop strategies for integrating non-Lenovo products with existing solutions and services, and a notable incapacity to efficiently deploy solutions for customers. The top management consistently questions without grasping the ground realities, offering no supportive guidance. Instead, they resort to harshly reprimanding employees, creating an unwelcoming environment resembling scolding without constructive feedback, thus fostering an atmosphere of disrespect and disregard for employee well-being. It appears that Lenovo follows a troubling practice of laying off employees, disregarding their confirmed achievement of sales targets. This norm of dismissing individuals despite meeting their sales goals raises concerns about job security and the company's commitment to valuing employee contributions.

Pros

The company has a better past than a present or even a future, but we cannot all survive on a glorious past seen through memories. While the company las lost its way, it still has a relatively open culture, doesn't feel like a Chinese dominated company.

Cons

The CEO, Yangqing Yang (internally called YY), is a brilliant mind and has made some really smart moves, but those smart moves and decisions have been far and few since 2016. The company made two disastrous acquisitions - Motorola Mobility from Google and IBM's X-series Server business. The company has struggled to integrate these and to turn them around. A lot of current issues are due to poor decisions and then other decisions to justify these poor decisions. The top management - called Lenovo Executive Committee (LEC for short) is full of old hands people (and mostly old people), providing lip service to YY. No real change is taking place and no real breakthrough strategies. The CEO in waiting, Liu Jun, is an unmitigated disaster, but has support of the large shareholders.
