Pros

Working at The LEGO Group has been a truly rewarding experience. The leadership team is approachable and genuinely cares about employees’ well-being and development. There’s a strong sense of collaboration across teams, and new ideas are always welcomed. Work-life balance is respected, and the culture is both professional and fun.

Cons

No company is perfect, but any challenges that arise are usually addressed quickly and transparently.

Pros

The discounts and benefits are awesome, and for the most part, most of the employees are great

Cons

It seems like there was wrong information given from the start. During the initial interview, we were told that because we were applying for a full remote position, it doesn't matter if you get hired on perm, and are local, you will stay remote because that is what you applied for. This was also told to everyone during the training as well. Turns out, it was a lie, and you are required to come into the office especially if you are hired on perm. During my time here, there have been many things that TLG says they are going to do, and then turn around and do the opposite. To get another role in the company is a joke. They give you all the tools you need (for the most part) to qualify for other positions, but when it comes down to it, it's all up to the hiring manager and if you are one of the "in" crowd. Your performance doesn't matter, and the hiring managers do not reach out to the advisors Team Lead for feedback. Someone can be on a performance plan, and still get another role, as long as the hiring manager likes the person. This has already been brought to the attention of the higher ups, in promise that it would be reviewed, and changes would be made. They then came out a few months later stating that things were going to be different with the internal hiring process going forward after receiving the feedback, but the reality is, nothing changed. They still don't go to our leads to ask about our performance or even that we have applied for another role. The company also has a "People Promise" and a "Planet Promise" that seems to only apply to those in very high up positions. They say in one meeting, we want to cut down on carbon emissions and any traveling that doesn't need to happen, is not going to happen, but then tell everyone we need to come into the office more. That is a complete contradiction in the planet promise, especially for those who have positions that can be done 100% from home. They state they are about the employees and want as much feedback as they can do that they can "Be the best" They contradict themselves again by making a move that means everyone that works here needs to either move with them, or be out a job, stating they are looking for a better talent pool. Those of us that work hard, even after hearing devastating news like this, feel very disheartened by this, and even if we wanted to stay loyal to the company and move, it does not feel like the company is loyal to us. CSE is the face of the company. We are there to deal with everything, and take the verbal abuse, especially when things done on the backend that cause issues, we are there to take the hit. It seems like toxic people and behavior gets rewarded, while doing the right thing, and doing your job gets you nowhere.

Pros

Great Brand, nice colleagues, fun atmosphere, ITS TOYS

Cons

Very lean company with low base salary for the work expectation. Bonuses are good, but are not guaranteed. If your salary, be prepared to work long hours with poor work-life balance. If you try to complain, you will be added to the "no advance LEGO list" Politics drive the company, if your not in the "good old boys circle" don't expect to advance into Sr.Roles. LEGO is a male driven company, senior leadership is made up of only white males. Very poor diversification, again " white male dominated company" They select only hand picked white women to advance, just to try to show they are improving on gender equality. No loyalty to employees. They don't mind letting people go who have dedicated many years to the company only to bring in a young college student.
