Pros

Swedish company does not want employees working overtime excessively- especially weekends. Pretty good benefits.

Cons

Company consistently hires uneducated, under-qualified Director level leaders, and leadership is very poor.

Pros

Interesting technology. Good work life balance, as no one really knows what anyone does.

Cons

There is no trust in the company and most employees are very tired of management that seems confused and only interested in short term target delivery upwards. The main focus for many seems to be to lie low and avoid blame, not to build a sustainable business. A lot of yes-sayers without essential competence has been promoted to made up roles. The intranet homepage is nowadays only used for publishing propaganda and the really important information is not being communicated, employees rely on gossip to know what is happening. It is not surprising that the employee satisfaction survey has been cancelled.

This particular location is run like it's still 1980s. No facilities onsite. Poor work culture. You will regret joining this company.
