      Pros

      Support personal and professional development. Flexible working schedules (outside of manufacturing). European owned company so there are a lot of paid vacation days even for new employees. Ability to work on numerous projects across a number of products.

      Cons

      Construction industry is stagnant as a whole. VCE has gone through two rounds of layoffs in the past year. Currently undergoing a reorganization from a functional to a product structure - this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is still in the early stages so it is hard to say what the effect will be.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Volvo IT has some really good people - smart, articulate and professional. As part of a huge international Group, there are numerous chances to travel - either on projects or for internal training - most of the training is performed out of Gothenburg, Sweden. There are always a number of interesting projects, inevitably with an organisation the size of Volvo, something, somewhere is always changing. Core skills are valued quite highly and the diversity of systems and applications is enormous. Most projects are run internationally, pulling people in from around the globe so there is also lots of opportunities to work on an international basis.

      Cons

      Following the announcement that Volvo will be outsourcing most of its operational IT to India, morale has hit the floor. People are leaving - either by choice or as part of the outsourcing process. Various management reshuffles have left the organisation lacking in experienced middle management and there are some significant issues with management communication.
