Pros

IKEA has a great company culture with flat hierarchies and uncomplicated communication. The employees really identify with their employer, even more so because the company is actively committed to ethical and environmental standards. Many of the co-workers have worked their way up from the bottom and there are many opportunities to try out something new in a different department. Relationships among employees are very friendly and people from all different levels mingle and exchange information during work-hours and special events. Co-workers are given a lot of freedom to develop their own ideas, although the company expects them to also take responsibility in return.

Cons

Salaries are rather low. Career opportunities might be limited in the UK because the head office is not that big.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
