A great company with too many layers

Pros

Working in this company is a daily pleasure as the freedom to act is quite large. For people with willingness to stretch themselves it looks like a good place to be.

Cons

The internal organization is very poor mostly within engineering leading to great deal of confusion on the roles and responsibilities. The same way purchasing is part of operations which is making no sense at all when purchase value is around 70% Also decision making process is horribly inefficient due to that. Result is that poor performers can stay years in position and good ones got desperate to see no promotion and their project stalling.

Working for this company is a complete nightmare

Pros

Free fruit and coffee are nice. Occasional gifts for holidays are much appreciated. Nice colleagues for the most part.

Cons

A lot of empty talk about values at the company. In reality, this company will try to stab you in the back at every opportunity. Trying to claim business expenses from the finance department is like squeezing blood from a rock. There is an implicit demand that you must work weekends and at weird out-of-office hours or else...! Raising a family on the meager pay they provide is almost impossible. There is a pathological focus on cost cutting which has really destroyed morale. Working for the head office in Sweden is probably much better than this.
