Business Outlook

Pros

Parental leave, flexible working hours

Cons

I cannot recommend Volvo Electromobility/CampX, having worked at both Volvo Trucks at CampX in technical leadership for a number of years. There is chauvinism, favouritism, working in silos and inter and intra departmental politics. Add to that a "not invented here" and "kill the messenger" attitude and you get a toxic workplace, far from the innovation that is claimed. Discourse is mainly political, not technical. Employees have gone to lengths to belittle and humiliate, sometimes with disregard to basic respect and decency. Predatory management and HR practices and blame game from leadership based on incomplete or wrong information make Emob/CampX a sub-optimal place to work that I would not recommend to anyone.

Pros

All the bells and whistles on attracting new employees

Cons

“Positive” discrimination i.e. no means of climbing internally unless being female. Political to the very utmost.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance (This is very subjective. Depends on project to project. In my case, I had a very bad experience during the initial time in Volvo) If you get opportunity to work with Business, you would gain very good domain knowledge and have fun(true!)

Cons

Plenty of cons. 1. Less to no recognition for your efforts. Even if your work is made globally visible, the local management will NEVER care about you. Even for an extremely self-motivated person (I am such a person!), your battery will die at the end. 2. Favouritism - oh yes. Every manager (at least from my interactions with many), has a set of engineers/employees who they will always promote in a vicious circle. Even if you manage to write an application that will make Volvo Trucks communicate with Mars, you would be still overlooked. 3. Frequent org changes. In my 3 years of time, I have seen 3 reorgs & 3 different managers. None of them is competent or knowledgeable on what to do. They simply don't understand any of the technologies either. 4. COE - the biggest joke Volvo ever pulled. 5. Most of the employees/engineers are so laid back that they struggle to even complete one simple dev task. (I worked with such persons that they require assistance to even write a simple List iteration logic!)
