Pros

- Cool mixed/open environment - Young workforce and lots of exciting people to meet and learn from - Willingness to try new technology and systems

Cons

- Outdated: Suits only and no work from home - Promotion: This is the most absurd part in Lidl US. People who got promoted are either putting in 16 hours/day (of course Saturday and Sunday count!). Lots of people got promoted after 4 or 5 months and they have no ideas what they are doing. These people are super young with unproven results yet but provided title "Senior manager". - The real "senior" management team is favorable on gender. I hate this say this but this is what I experienced during my time here. - Management team fails on recognizing hard working employees and believes as they think each person will need 2 years to adapt to multiple projects and can be assigned to new role. I have proven results from what was asked at the beginning but I had to leave in disappointment because that was a complete lie.

Pros

Intelligent engaged people, Modern offices, Decent pay, and good retirement benefits.

Cons

Growing pains of a European company modifying its business to grow its American footprint. Senior leadership was mostly European. Felt disconnected from American grocery culture.
