Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Benefits get worse every year. Everyone at Volvo has a very negative attitude, even towards their own company. Europeans are really the only people here treated with respect in most cases. Managers don’t even care about their own employees, they only care about making themselves look good, even at the demise of their own employees in some cases. If you are expecting to work on any new or exciting technology, don’t work here. All of that is done in Sweden. There is no clear direction for this company from management, and no hope for current employees in North America. Everyone is going through the motions, and newer employees with high hopes and ambitions are quickly discouraged, even European colleagues that I have discussed this with have the same issues. Very toxic work environment.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
