Pros

Great work/life balance infact insisted by the higher management. Annual increment is never single digit for anyone, market corrections are done periodically. No stress, easy and flexible timelines. Heaven for a candidate who suffered through heat of service provider companies. One can finally settledown and retire for good. Very very very good onsite compensation (if you are lucky to travel)

Cons

Company never allocate project developement to India site. Core developement is done at sweden and only dust cleaning jobs are given to India. Good infractucture but no fun at work, dull enviroment. Dont even thing about onsite opportunity for more than a month. No trainings, appreciations or motivations. You will learn lots of information about Volvo company but zero knowledge about automobile indusrty trends. Not good for freshers, good for who just looking for monthly salary and super annual hike and waiting for retirement. Its a technical & career dead end. No vertical growth path established, one can not plan the future growth. Working hard wont always be appreciated & not required also. To gain something in this company, whenever possible one need to continuosly gibber about the Volvo policis, Sweden happenings, most importantly your each sentence must have atleast two swedish names, then you become "visible". Performance will never be considered as a benchmark.

Pros

The company values are great and the work is interesting. The product range is also great with a lot of new ambitious projects.

Cons

There are a lot of inefficiencies in the internal processes because the organization is also too complex mostly in engineering and too many people could have their say into any decision. It makes the whole thing to move very slowly. On top of this it is discouraging many good people from trying to stretch themselves. At the moment too much attention is set on reduction of operating cost instead of focusing on key projects. It looks pretty much like micro management.
