Pros

Free coffee, snacks, covered parking and views of the airport. Good people. Cold turkey holiday luncheons complete with profit sermons as entertainment.

Cons

After many years of working here, I’ve seen Lennar shift from a family-focused company to one solely driven by profits. Over time, I witnessed frequent changes in upper management, each bringing a new and inconsistent business direction. This is not a company where you can build a lasting career or feel supported as an employee. Career development is virtually non-existent, and employees are treated as disposable resources. The current CIO has placed close associates in influential positions, enabling the outsourcing of most of the IT department offshore. I was among those impacted, spending months training my offshore replacements—an experience that severely tested my patience. While most of the department has been outsourced, the company has invested heavily in renovating office space. To maintain appearances for investors who frequently tour the premises, employees are required to work onsite daily, despite many desks remaining empty. Job security is a constant concern, and much of your time will be spent supporting offshore teams and addressing emergencies. The work environment is highly toxic, and if you accept a position here, don’t plan on staying for the long term.

Pros

you will have a flexible schedule most of the year.

Cons

It is difficult to trust the people you work with, as they are incentivised to get you to sign off on things, whether they are done or not.

Pros

Was able to do many different jobs and learn a bunch of different departments.

Cons

Management is out of touch with reality. Used to be a great company to work for and they truly cared about their people. It is so unprofessional, micro managed, too many middle managers and no one can make a decision to save their life. The stress, political bs is overwhelming. They spend a ton of money on creating programs and then never get to the users. Everyone they have a new CTO it is major disruption and they always bad mouth the last person that was in the seat. Then they go back to what was done 10 years ago.
