Pros

IKEA is rich with opportunity and truly practices it's core values. Recognition and responsibility are encouraged and rewarded.

Cons

Although we look for better ways to work we are stuck in outdated auditing processes that take us away from the important issues of running the business. e.g. we are often consumed by an individual audit, rather than the everyday focus of good work.

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.
