Pros

Great people, great culture, great teams.

Cons

Little to no career progression or growth opportunities. At the LEGO Group (at least in the Singapore office), there is no such thing as a promotion (either that or a promotion is extremely hard to come by, and is dependent on headcount. budget as opposed to your merit or achievements). To get a skyline promotion, one needs to wait for an opening, then apply for the role (along with multiple rounds of interviews together with external competition). Even then, this is not a guarantee. Long story short, talent retention is terrible here. Just be prepared if you want to join the LEGO Group. One more thing - unlike most companies in Singapore where carry-over of leaves are allowed if you cannot finish using them, the LEGO Group has a no carry-over leave policy in place.

Pros

Scope of work is really simple and narrow. The only think making work complicated is the people and mindset Owner family is caring. They give back to the community and to the employees too Good benefits - from leaves to insurance. Most People are nice and can really be your friends Office and IT equipment are better than most companies in Singapore Flex work hours but depends on manager. Local managers tend to still have the 9-6, micromanager mindset. Foreign bosses exhibit the company culture more. Slow. You can take time to rest and enjoy

Cons

Not recommended for fresh grads since learning is so limited and training (critical thinking, discipline, striving for results which is very important to build at the onset, isn’t there) No promotion from within principle. You have to pull strings and build relationships to progress your career (both moving roles and getting a promotion) - results don’t matter. If you like this kind of culture, then you’re good. Else, accept that you can stay in the same job for years. Lots of pretence in the hiring process. They open up roles both internally and externally, even if hiring managers already have chosen someone or have a top candidate in mind. Waste of time for the participants but still have to go through to show there’s a process People appraisals are feedback-based - be careful on getting on the bad side of some LT, feedback and perception lingers Slow. Sometimes you’ll get frustrated that a simple task can take a month, as an example. Not so much on your resume after a year of working
