Leadership position of comapny globaly. Strong North America presence with recnt acquisitions. Great benefits. Good experience level of staff and management , very professional. Plently of training.

Cons

Too process oriented, Slow moving. Too much staff -org changes for change sake. For sales, not very relationship based. Lots of wasted overhead, too much travel. Too many company acronyms for processes. The first principle of engineering is KISS "keep it simple stupid" apparently not taught in Swedish Engineering Schools.
