Pros

Great work/life balance infact insisted by the higher management. Annual increment is never single digit for anyone, market corrections are done periodically. No stress, easy and flexible timelines. Heaven for a candidate who suffered through heat of service provider companies. One can finally settledown and retire for good. Very very very good onsite compensation (if you are lucky to travel)

Cons

Company never allocate project developement to India site. Core developement is done at sweden and only dust cleaning jobs are given to India. Good infractucture but no fun at work, dull enviroment. Dont even thing about onsite opportunity for more than a month. No trainings, appreciations or motivations. You will learn lots of information about Volvo company but zero knowledge about automobile indusrty trends. Not good for freshers, good for who just looking for monthly salary and super annual hike and waiting for retirement. Its a technical & career dead end. No vertical growth path established, one can not plan the future growth. Working hard wont always be appreciated & not required also. To gain something in this company, whenever possible one need to continuosly gibber about the Volvo policis, Sweden happenings, most importantly your each sentence must have atleast two swedish names, then you become "visible". Performance will never be considered as a benchmark.

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.
