Pros

My positive experience with this company only lasted the first few months I was there. The company has great health benefits for their employees with ordinary pay. "I work for LEGO. Yes, that LEGO." Some of the people are amazing to work with, and they can teach you a lot. The discount wasn't bad, either.

Cons

On the other side, the company has many reorganizations in which they use to get rid of anyone who challenges the ideas of upper management. The focus of LEGO is to have a "family-oriented" and it's exactly that. Unfortunately, if you're not a part of that small family (or from Denmark) then it is extremely difficult to move up in the company. There were very few promotions, and they recently have taken women out of any upper management roles. The company is extremely political, and very cliquey. They do not seem to recognize the hard work of their employees. The company also did not treat their contractors working for them very well, making false promises of contract to hire and treating them as if they were dispensable. The company didn't care about employee moral or worries. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. The constant political battles, rumors spread, and walking on glass trying not to step on any toes can become draining. The worry of always watching your back, and hoping to not lose your job with all of the reorganizations were stresses I wouldn't wish on anyone. This company encourages the ability to express one's opinions, but lash back if those opinions aren't the ones they wanted to hear.

Pros

The instant company recognition is nice - it's fun to tell people you work at LEGO. Employee discount is good. Benefits are slightly better than average, though pay is lower than average. The company does a good job of stating quarterly/annual goals.

Cons

LEGO brands itself externally and interally as a warm, friendly, family place, but there is definitely a cold, impersonal underside of this company. Trust is low, and favoritism abounds Denmark. Few to no women in senior leadership roles. Very bureaucratic company. LEGO is no stranger to layoffs.

Pros

Great company culture, which encourages employees that only the Best is Good Enough. LEGO offers a very competitive bonus structure which encourages you to preform. The employee discount is awesome. The ability to execute ideas in your own department is great, but you have to be careful of stepping on other department's toes.

Cons

Some of the employees have a bit of a superiority complex - don't put on airs that you know more than them or can do something better - it's the quickest way to be marginalized. Be prepared to work with humility and respect. Over communicate even to people who may not be even involved.
