Pros

Leader in the field. Treats people fairly and values its employees. Visionary in its field. Global scale and opportunities to work in other countries and on diverse projects and customers. Outstanding culture of collaboration and nice place to work. Long tenure of employees leads to people who really know the products and the technology. Priotities are set in Sweden and sometimes ignore the local market requirements.

Cons

Very collaborative makes slow decision making (but company has a long time horizon). Low performance culture. Training is on the job, poor formal induction and structure training. Expected to learn by 'just being around a long time'. Tolerance of mediocrity Progression based on length of service and relationships to Sweden rather than competence or ability.

Pros

Pay as an intern is well above other employers in the Dallas area ($16+/hr). Heavily hire out of the internship program, so a job offer is almost guaranteed. My direct managers are very invested in developing their interns, and giving them work they are interested in, while aiding their careers. They are also competent in their fields (Finance & Accounting). Overall culture is one that encourages sharing and learning.

Cons

Swedish culture. The company is structured very strangely, and it takes a few months to acclimated. For upper management, they prefer to bring in people from Sweden and other areas of the world. If you are seeking upward growth, and don't want to spend 2 years in Sweden to be indoctrinated, move on to the next company. Working in Corporate Finance is difficult because you must adhere to the Swedish close calendar, which means that you will be working through weekends and most holidays. Other areas don't have to deal with this though.
