Pros

Freedom under responsibility - You get to define the way you work and how you do it. Good possibility for one to make a career - You can do a career as a specialist with building knowledge, generalist by widening in different departments as well as project leader or manager. Good brand reputation - Everywhere you go in Europe and if you say you work for Scania, truckers will start telling you stories and speak about Scania with warmth in their hearts. Great opportunities for career abroad - Scania has buisninesses in Europe, South America, India and Thailand and is growing in other markets as well. Flat and open organization - You can talk to anyone regardless of their job title and corporate status.

Cons

Low wages - Scania pays less than the average employer in Stockholm. Poor wage development - 2-3% is standard, you get more if you climb the career ladder. Focus in Södertälje - Great if you live there, not if you don't... Lots of rotation of people - Due to the three above reasons... Lots of 'corporate politics' - Hard to get people to take responsibility, many managers prefer to shove issues on other managers.
