Pros

- Good coworkers - "Unlimited" vacation - Decent work-life balance

Cons

- In DCG, there has been a trend of moving much of the software engineering / development overseas and laying off employees in the US to reduce costs. - At the Morrisville site, the office is being converted into an open workspace which they touted as being a good thing just because it is "new", "modern", and will "attract new talent". But in reality, this is being done, so that they can cram more people into each building - once again, a cost reduction measure.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We value your feedback. Reducing our workforce is a difficult, but necessary, decision to make as we continue to execute our strategy for Intelligent Transformation while achieving sustainable, profitable growth. Recently we had to take this step of rebalancing our headcount and skills to position us for the future. We treated those affected with dignity and respect, and offered a strong transitional program. While we may reduce positions in certain areas of the business, we are investing in others, adding new employees with the necessary skills to fuel our future growth. Lenovo will continue to make adjustments as needed as part of our ongoing management of the business.

Pros

Good pay, interesting projects to work on, good colleagues

Cons

A person's experience greatly impacted by the leadership his/her team is under. Generally, there's a solid culture in spite of high demands. The wrong leadership chain create toxicity that even great pay and bonuses can't overcome
