Q&A With Lenovo Employees
IDX: 25 TOT: 54
What is the PTO policy at Lenovo?
Unlimited but must be in agreement with manager
How flexible is your work schedule at Lenovo?
More or less... we have the ability to do home office and it is wonderful, but most managers only use it as exception / emergency offer rather than a regular thing.
What kind of interview questions do they ask when hiring someone in the Customer Support department at Lenovo?
Pretty down to earth, where you currently work, where you live, do you have a car (to drive the long distance to work) etc.
What part of Lenovo's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
The Server Group post IBM Acquisition has taken a bit to get set up right, IBM sold them a mess and did their best to crush it before selling it. They've righted the ship, put Lenovo energy in place and the up coming year will be the time to see if it all comes together.
What was the most difficult question that was asked during your interview at Lenovo?
I really didn't have any hard questions. Mostly because I'd worked with just about everyone who I interviewed with before at another company.
What's the office vibe like at Lenovo?
Somber
How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at Lenovo?
Not very difficult. Work life balance is encouraged.
How do you feel about going to work at Lenovo everyday?
I liked it while I was there. I enjoyed what I did and received lots of affirmations.
How's the feedback proccess at Lenovo?
It depends on your Manager. They have a formal review process but many managers have weekly one-on-ones.
How can I improve my chances of being hired at Lenovo?
This is a difficult question. They seem to give preference to certain people or people who come from certain companies such as IBM, Intel, Cisco, Microsoft. Your chances would be better if you are highly technical, have an advanced degree, have some kind of relevant certification, and come from one of the places I mentioned.
How secure do you feel at your job at Lenovo?
I’m no longer employed there. I was a contractor who should have been converted at the 6-month mark but was not due to finances. Towards the last couple of months of my tenure, my job was in jeopardy. Case in point, after I left my position was eliminated. Eventually, I would have been laid off.
What unique perks and benefits does Lenovo provide?
For employees only - onsite clinic and gym. They also had a lot of activities in the summer (barbques, Happy hour, games) in the patio sponsored by their partners.
How's the morale at Lenovo?
When I left (4 months ago) many people were afraid of losing their jobs.
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Lenovo?
I wish I had known about the challenges they had with the data center line of business. By the time I joined it had not made a profit for about 4 quarters. When I left budgets were being slashed and layoffs were in the horizon.
How does Lenovo make decisions around promotions?
I have seen it as easy as one manager recommending someone for a promotion without much thought about that person’s ability or experience.
