Worked at this company from it's inception as a leveraged buyout spinoff from the IBM Office Products Divsion until my retirement Dec 31, 2014.

Career at Lexmark primarily Information Technology based positions with the exception of approximately 3 years as a Project Engineer in the Consumer Products Division ( Inkjet Printers ) for software development of printer drivers for MacIntosh computers for the related Lexmark CPD Inkjet printer product line.

Have managerial and techincal staff ( high level positions) during that tenure.  Managed Data Management ( Data Base Support and Systems Backup functionality ), Lotus Notes email deployment and ongoing email server support,  Lotus Notes Development ( application support team ) and served as Project Lead and technical Operations manager positions in Web Development / AS 400 application interfaces.   Spent the last 8 years at Lexmark as a member of the Global Operations Team in Information Systems organization at Lexmark Corporate Headquarters in Lexington, KY with primary responsibility for day to day operations of Incident Management, Problem Management and Change Managment disciplines,  while serving as the key focal point contact to external third party support teams for Network ( AT&T), Infrastructure ( Tata Consultancy Services ( TCS handled Servers and Data constructs) and Wipro ( Application Development and Support) interfaces.

There is very little job security at Lexmark. The worst part about it is not just the frequent layoffs (one every year or two): it's that the layoffs rarely consider performance or value to the company. The first line managers are usually terrific, but most employees are simply numbers on a spreadsheet to anyone second line and beyond. What kind of company lays off employees who they ACKNOWLEDGE are good performers and do their job well?

If you're a contractor considering working at Lexmark, know that you will likely be treated by your immediate manager as a regular employee most of the time, allowing you to feel like a valuable part of the team. Then suddenly you're not allowed to participate in some events or you're constantly referred to by upper management as "just" a contractor. Remember that your job is temporary (even if it's "long term"), and if you need something stable, NEVER stop looking for something else. Keep your resume out there and network like crazy.

If you've been with the company for several years and know the right people, I'm sure it's an excellent place to work. Look out, though: if they decide your job doesn't need to be done that well, it will be sent over$ea$.

A typical day at work involves a lot of problem solving.  The size and scope of the problems will vary greatly.  One month you may be working on designing parts for a new product; The next day you may be writing a computer program to control a robot; Other days you may analyzing large amounts of data.  The list goes on and on.

Management at Lexmark is great.  Managers give you the resources you need to get your job done.  They also trust that you can do your job without having to look over your shoulder.  They expect the best out of you.

The culture at Lexmark is one of the best things about working there.  There is a lot of camaraderie among the various teams.  The work time is flexible and the people are great to work with.

The hardest part of the job is having to complete many engineering projects in short periods of time.  You have to learn quickly and be willing to take on the different challenges that come your way.

The most enjoyable part of working at Lexmark is the challenge.  Lexmark demands the best out of its employees.  Many times you're asked to take on a project that is new and unfamiliar to you.  You need to quickly become an expert at whatever it is you have to work on.  In the end, there is a great sense of accomplishment when you've risen to the challenge and completed the project.  

Starting with my employment at IBM (1980) until my transition to Lexmark (1992); ending with my retirement when in 2006 my department, along with several others, was outsourced to an outside  contracting company.   Initially, I found a company that valued it greatest asset - its human resources (employees).  A typical day at work was one that required being able to multitask as I was allowed to cross into areas other than just my immediate dept.  I learned that with continual education/courses/classes, you could advance by not only working smarter, but harder as well.  I had several opportunities for special assignments that sometime included travel.  Most co-workers were ambitious teamworkers that understood that sometimes to advance meant giving someone else a "leg" up.  Managment was a challenge that sometimes required early mornings and late nights, but was worth the effort which sometimes made it difficult to balance work & personal life.  Most enjoyable part of the job was the varied opportunities afforded me in my 26 years with IBM/Lexmark.

Managed one of the largest Lexmark Accounts (Kaiser Permanate) and provide overall performance results on a monthly presentation to 16 Kaiser service area within Southern California. Also managed the budget for billing Kaiser as well as the payment approval to our 3rd party vendors.

I had six (6) Site Operation Managers (SOMs) reporting to me and they would manage their specific service areas within Southern California. We has a very talented and dedicate group of SOMs who had been with Lexmark supporting this account for over 8 years!

The hardest part of the job is getting the ad hoc bills paid by Kaiser as no one would take accountability of approving the invoice. Although the amount was small, over time they increase over time and I would get calls from my Accounts Receivable Department as to the status of when they will be paid!

The most enjoyable were the once a month meeting with my team at our Irvine Office. We would have a round table discussion about each service area. Once we were done, we would all go out to lunch as not only were they co workers but also friends.

Worked there for 15 years and was great company from 1998-2006, when incompetent management and constant reorgs/layoff began.
What kind of CEO and leaders continues to get million dollar bonuses while laying off thousands of people and forcing employees to train non US citizens to offshore their jobs overseas? 
Way too many managers without skills of staff, who waste most time in meetings and discussing metrics without producing or providing value add to staff or organization. No loyalty to employees whatsoever. May be out of business in few years at current direction they are heading. If economy picks up - there will be massive exodus to other jobs. For now, Lexmark can continue taking advantage of employees.

Lexmark is a great place to work as a work culture. Many of the people are very health conscious and work out at the YMCA during lunch break. It's great to have other people help you stay committed and fit when it's so easy to quit exercising. 

The hours are very flexible. Employees are allowed to come in to work between 7-9am and work their 8 hours. It generally isn't a problem if you need to leave work for your children or family needs. They are very accommodating for family needs.

There is no job security and very little advancement opportunity for those you are not chemical engineers. However, if you are a software engineer, you have more advancement opportunity. 

Their benefits are good and have flexible spending accounts and savings accounts for child care costs, which are taken out pretax. They have 401K matching and many free services for improving your health.

Lexmark, while a good stepping stone for me to other companies, did not do a lot for me in the way of career growth and opportunity. I was given practically no introduction to their frankly massive and incredibly messy codebase and was told to just have at it. 

My assigned mentor was unreachable most of the time and usually told me to just fix problems myself. Due to this and the lack of actual work, there was genuinely nothing for me to do besides sit around the incredibly stuffy office that looked like it was from the 90s.

While the recruiting team was amazing, their diversity and inclusion platforms left something to be desired--while I was there the LGBTQ BRG didn't have a single meeting--in addition to the fact that I got microaggressed nearly constantly by my white coworkers. It's very much a place filled to the brim with old, stuffy white guys who don't bother listening to anyone else's opinions.

And there were also far too many meetings that didn't actually accomplish anything meaningful.
