Lawson Software – “A mixed bag

Sep 30, 2008

3.0

Lawson Software Anonymous in Saint Paul, MN:   (Past Employee - 2007)

Pros

All employees get laptops with VPN and wifi set up. The mobility is a plus because you can work at home occasionally (if your manager is OK with that) and bring your laptop to meetings. At HQ there are small conference rooms on each floor that you can use, even alone if you just need space and solitude.

Cons

The company is enamored with moving jobs overseas to cheaper locales. That is great if you live in those locales but not so great if you're at HQ. The company president seems to enjoy telling US employees how much cheaper their offshore counterparts are. Also, parking is subsidized but not free.

Advice to Senior Management

I would tell the top brass to stop moving jobs overseas. If they were down at the level of the people actually doing the work, they would see the cultural differences that impede work and the destructive impact on morale, rather than the sunny 30,000-feet view they currently have.
