Pros

It's led by engineers, giving a very good and stable environment for those who like to do their job and work with really serious people. Work/life balance is excellent. Very good respect for people, at least outside of production. Benefits (except for the usual Swedish ones) are good, especially if you do sports, cultural stuff or car fixing. Good senior management, many enthusiastic and good people dedicated to their job. Job security second to none.

Cons

Younger first line management sometimes more concerned with using buzzwords correctly and limiting their risks while sweet-talking than being realistic and work with what they got to produce the best. Their ability to walk the talk is low. Little product/customer knowledge in many parts of the development. Also, especially, at younger management. This may be a long term way to just mediocre products while ramping up. If you're kidless, not interested in the company sports/culture/etc events, and don't care too much about the organisational stuff, well, you can certainly find much better paid jobs elsewhere. And advance faster. Job security sometimes too good... Rotten apples remain and spoil the other good ones.
