Pros

I consider this is a good place to learn because, it has no concept of work. Lot of work. Very less leisure time. Decent salary. Best to be a permanent employee than a consultant from Magna. People are kind and helping and very friendly.

Cons

Volvo has started a organizational changes where it has announced cost cutting, lay offs, and no team outings, no cultural events, no recreational activities, no food, it has stopped giving snacks, probably it will soon stop providing drinking water. I have been working here for three years and lot of changes have happened since two years. I had given a 5 star rating for this company two years ago. but now i am giving only one star for what it has become. The culture of volvo has been destroyed after the organisational structure changes. Managers are less responsible. They do not take actions for concerns from employees. Its not a HR driven company. Managers rule the company. HRs a re very slow in processing any work. It doesnt work like a product company nor completely like a service company. Its hanging somewhere in the middle. I only hope it gets better after few years.

Pros

Good exposure for freshers and 2-3 years experienced candidates. Salaries have been revised for freshers. Not much of work pressure, Hence termed as "Work Life Balance"

Cons

Hell lot of politics especially in some Teams such as Unix & SAP No Equality and Fairness to employees Growth Severely Depends on the amount of Showoff that is done for a small job and not for the real job. Salaries for the experienced people are terribly low compared to consultants. New technologies are adapted very late. and only managers pets get to work on latest tech and trainings. expect you to stay for 1 year after a KT or give 4 months notice period after a onsite travel for 2-3 weeks.
