Pros

Result is not the most importnatb KPI. They evaluate by the process. In general, quite leinient with the result as long as you are thinking, implementing with logical thoughts. You would have worlking experience of anouther division/department outside of your specilaity if you wish. You can express your opinion very freely even to your direct boss.

Cons

Long working hours, reflecting good and bad of japanese org culture,,,to many meeting Less paid (but much better pay compare to normal japanese company) considering the long hors of working. the promotion is not only based by the actual performance as said in "pros" column. So it would be frustrating for those familiare with strict result oriented compnay ...ie US comany culture.

Pros

A great place to work @ when it comes to having a family. Possible to work from home alot. A changing working environment/field of work, it never gest boring.

Cons

A sense of Nepotism colors the company at least in Lund. Old friends and colleagues from the days of Ericsson Mobile tend to watch each others backs to secure that no "outsiders" are let in.
