Pros

The LEGO Group has a unique culture of caring for their people. Fun is one of the values and it comes through during your job. The office spaces are great especially in Denmark and people tend to be genuinely cooperative. Senior people are quite accessible and authentic: there seems to be a lot less politics compared to other organizations.

Cons

Regretfully the company has gone way backward post Covid and it is now lagging behind other global corporations in London. You need to be in the office three days a week no matter what your role is and even if your team is not based in UK which is silly. You can no longer work from abroad even if there are many international employees and you can no longer carry over holidays to the next year. The management looks stubborn and not listening to feedback and I know they started to lose talent

Pros

An undeniable fantastic brand, awesome product, exciting NPD. Family owned. Good work life balance. Great bonus structure.

Cons

The company has a flat structure which definetly has its benefits but also limits development opportunities. Really difficult to move internally, they advertise a lot of specialist roles and recruit externally for them, claim their external hires are "in line with industry benchmark", but since when was the industry the benchmark? as one of the most reputable companies in the world I'd expect better than that, and for a bit more focus to go into the retention and development of talent. Really disappointing. The company lacks diversity. Benefits are not competitive. Offices are dull yet they expect us to spend 3 days a week there which is mandatory and being tracked in some locales, which is shocking in itself. They don't trust their workforce to do what's best for them and their personal circumstances despite inflation and the cost of living hikes. I loved this organisation when I joined but it doesn't feel like what it once was.

Pros

Good work life balance, good compensation including excellent bonus scheme. Friendly people culture.

Cons

Very disappointing and narrow minded hybrid working scheme of 3 days in the office. CPO has not recognised or provided solutions and flexibility for sky-high cost of living in and around London. Blatant hypocrisy in having a reduced travel policy whilst forcing employees into office 3 days a week. Total disregard for diversity of learning types, such neurodivergent people, who may be more productive and comfortable at home more often. The communication of the policy has left a strong, tangible feeling of mistrust from the top-down and caused many employees to reevaluate their employment which will impact company negatively. Blatant discrepancy between London and Billund in incentives to come into the office - E.g lack of facilities in london, no discount on travelling which is proving unaffordable for many, particularly those forced to live further from london due to cost of living.
