Constantly flipping from close to finish shifts so no time for a social life/actual sleep. Very hostile once you've handed your notice in. |

My manager changed his tune after 6 months of positive appraisal from him. It seemed that after half year appraisal in jan 2019...in 3 weeks from positive feedback, he changed his feedback to negative and then put me on next round of firing by first putting me in a performance plan. It is clear to me that everything from the 6 months onwards went downhill after they changed the team structure...the so called performance plan was just a fake process setup by HR with lack of support or interest from the manager and so the manager just put me on this pmp plan with no interest in supporting me and 1 year passed and I was out of the job. Terrible middle management. Being curious, brave and focused is the moto of the leadership playground educated by LEGO. But in my case this backfired and costed my job. |

Excellent work/life balance. Large company that retains the family-owned feeling and embraces it core purpose. | Finding the right role can be a challenge as the company is so big.

True work-life balance with the ability to work days and hours that work with day to day family or personal life. An open culture, a shared vision with like minded work mates, the opportunity to explore project areas that interest and energise. Plus we get to play with LEGO sets! | A highly collaborative culture means that some pieces of work can take longer to deliver than expected. But energy remains high. |

In the technology area there is a strong and interesting technology/digital strategy (and investments) for the coming years.
Strong and visible values including e.g. caring, which makes it a great place to work. | Strong network based and collaborative working culture can make decision process slow. |

the-LEGO-Group | 2020-09-14 | Anonymous Employee | Current Employee, more than 8 years | null | 5 | 5 | 5 | null | 4 | 4 | 5 | v | v | v | Amazing company to work for | The company culture is second to none. Very informal in many ways yet great performance management where bad work ethics is addressed immediately. Family owned business which allows for long term perspectives instead of short term stock price focus. In general the mission and vision is hard not to love. | Like any other large company there are some level of bureaucracy and change can be difficult at times yet not impossible. |

LEGO is a playground that allows for experimentation and having fun while performing your work, and making a difference for the future builders of tomorrow.
Also, I have never had so much LEGO in my apartment before! :-) | The only con that I have experienced so far is the location of the office in Billund. |

Even if the company earns a lot of money you can sense from the family owners that earning money is not the most important thing. It is creating the builders of tomorrow and helping kids develop their skills (while they have lots of fun playing).
This can be felt almost everyday and also the company gives back a lot to charity etc.
Then you have really good colleagues, who are really talented and are fun to work with.
Finally (for a top-3) the work balance is great. There is a good balance where you can work from home some days of week and come into the office as long as you manage your time and deliver your things. | The bar is high. You really need to perform your best to deliver on your goals. I have had years where I think I have done really well and delivered above target. Still I would "only" get a medium + rating. But then you pull together and find your next level. |

It was my first job and can recommend this for other students in secondary who are looking for their first job too. Really fun environment to work in.
Another pro is that you get a magic pass which means you get free entry into the other Merlin attractions. | I don't really have any. |

the-LEGO-Group | 2020-09-23 | Consumer Service Advisor | Current Employee, more than 1 year | Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England, England | 5 | 5 | 5 | null | 5 | 5 | 5 | v | v | v | Amazing Company! | There are free snacks and drinks in the kitchen, a great canteen of food and drink for lunches etc.
The management are very friendly and easy to get on with. You don't feel like you're underneath them or not worth their time if you speak to them or someone two or three positions higher than you in upper management.
Always hearing about how the company is doing from other departments, hearing from the CEo and brand communications are great! You really feel like a team member, not someone just there in the corner who is unknown.
The benefits are awesome! 50% LEGO, free merlin/legoland passes. Amazing team members who become close friends and an amazing office to work in also. Everyone about is friendly and great to work with.
Staff parties are fun and always a laugh to go to and wind down. We take a day out in the year for Playday to just enjoy and play! The company really care and make sure working is as stress free as can be (not the easiest with some harder customers but that's not in their hands) They like to make us feel comfortable.
BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR! I have worked for Apple, LEGOLAND, big retial chains and now LEGO. Hands down the best. | Yes the seasonal part at first is annoying and can be a pain worrying if you have got the job at the end or not but honestly even if you're here as seasonal it is worth the experience and a lot of the time people come back next year and stay on. |
the-LEGO-Group | 2020-09-23 | Consumer Service Advisor (German Speaking) | Current Employee, more than 1 year | Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England, England | 5 | 5 | 5 | null | 5 | 5 | 5 | v | v | v | Working for the LEGO group is great! | One of the biggest pros is how engaging and supportive the company is. In those current times every persons situation can change at all times. You'll always find someone that has a shoulder for you and an open ear and I've never left a conversation without being understood and heard. We're not only a big team but a family. Working with for LEGO has improved my personal skills and also human understanding in so many ways coming from an IT environment where everything is just so overly formal. | As with pros there are some Cons but if we're real here - no company has only upsides. For being an advisor there is just so many different platforms we operate on that it can get overwhelming. Even though it sounds like 1 step - taking holiday is based off of 3 different things - logging errors feels challenging sometimes and the amount of share-point tasks you assign is just huge. Overall once you've been part of the family for long enough you'll get used to it and it's just fine but for a new starter this will lead to confusion and some mistakes. |

Effort is made for a very nice working environment.
Many benefits. | No development opportunities. There are so many advisors that unless your team leader promotes you everywhere, you don't have a chance (and most of them don't do this for you).
No communication within the department. Even important updates aren't shared and advisors are finding things out the hard ways (like through customer complaints) |
