Unlike any company I have worked for, they are all truly living in day to day life at The LEGO Group from the owners to right through the company.
In addition, they have their four promises: People Promise, Play Promise, Partner Promise and Planet Promise. When we make decisions these are always at the route of the decision.
From the personal development side of my career, they have encouraged my development from the outset and helped me through that development. | As in most large companies change can be slower than needed.

It’s a conscious choice to keep working for a brand with a mission that I truly believe in: to inspire and develop the builder’s of tomorrow.
The company is still family owned and you feel that through the values and culture.
We work hard, but we also play. Family life is celebrated and everything we do is with a “one team” mindset. | As with any large organisation, driving change can be slow. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done, but you need to work creatively and ultimately be comfortable with the fact things take longer that they would in a more agile set-up.
There is also quite a lot of travel involved, which can be draining depending on your personal circumstances and preferences. |

The company procedures in terms of such sensitive area like ‘bullying, harassment and victimization’ do not work. In case of applying for an investigation to defend dignity in a corporate way and getting no charges at the end of the process, a job loss is guaranteed while the guilty manager continues working. There is a big question in regards to a cultural diversity and fair promotions as well. |

Employee discounts are also ridiculous so it's great if you're a fan of the product. | Sometimes when traffic is low, it feels like you're looking for things to do. Hours were variable, sometimes you'd work 8 hours in a week, sometimes close to 40. Wasn't a problem for me (as a high school student at the time) but this bothered some of my co-workers. |

It’s a total high school mentality here- cool kids vs nerds. If your in then it’s all good , but if your not you better look elsewhere. I have seen managers kill their goals and do everything right and get fired because their district manager don’t like them. District Managers say one thing an do another. It’s wasn’t always this way. To much change in corporate to keep up with, no training hours for staff. Seems like they lost their way. Upper management gossips this is horrible. |
