Pros

- Free Lego and discounts - Good benefits - Relaxed environment

Cons

- Salaries are crap compared to the current market rate - Bonus is big but it might not be there at the end of the year and it's 25% of your income - They recently starting enforcing 3 days a week working from the office that is absolutely crap and 90% of the people are not ok with it. They dont care about the feedbacks provided. They are happy to replace the people that do not accept the new terms. - The pace is so slow sometimes you have nothing to do and can be very boring - Getting a promotion is almost impossible. They release a few slots a year and you have to apply and go through the interview process to have a promotion. Other than that it's impossible to get promoted because you are good at what your are doing. - 3% pay raise a year with inflation at 11%, not great. - The amount of meetings you have to deal with on daily basis it's absolutely ridiculous - You are not allowed to work from another country AT ALL. Doesnt matter if you have family abroad you have to use all your vacations days to see them. In 2023 it's ridicolous. - The Lego office in London is really not great to be such a big company. Only free coffee in a small cafeteria. Other than that it's just desks and meeting rooms. Lego sets around the office doesnt make the office more enjoyable.

Pros

Great discount, people were nice and easy to work with. Great place to work if you are going to school but do not make it a career.

Cons

Few hours, management has their favorites and takes care of them despite the ongoing problems. Management talks poorly about their employees with other management members, to the point it is disrespectful.

Pros

Great Coworkers and Supervisors Great benefits 50% off on discounts on sets

Cons

Overworked in the weekends and holidays there was many times where the store was understaffed and we needed more employees to work High School Mentality with some of the employee's people would have clique groups during work Going back to employees there was some employees that were very lazy and or incompetent and nothing was done about it
