Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Benefits get worse every year. Everyone at Volvo has a very negative attitude, even towards their own company. Europeans are really the only people here treated with respect in most cases. Managers don’t even care about their own employees, they only care about making themselves look good, even at the demise of their own employees in some cases. If you are expecting to work on any new or exciting technology, don’t work here. All of that is done in Sweden. There is no clear direction for this company from management, and no hope for current employees in North America. Everyone is going through the motions, and newer employees with high hopes and ambitions are quickly discouraged, even European colleagues that I have discussed this with have the same issues. Very toxic work environment.

Pros

Great company overall. Benefits and Salary are all above average. Good Opportunity to change career direction.

Cons

Senior Executive Management with long history of chauvinistic behavior ignored. Employee complaints as voiced in VGAS about belittling micro-management style swept under the carpet. Senior management problems ignored and protected under banner of diversity or ethnic background. Seems as though an executive with a doctorate is excused from behaviors that would be addressed if he was another employee.

Pros

Education, Training and Diversity programs available to all staff so you can help take control of your own career path. Fair pay, great benefits package.

Cons

Huge company with primary design/engineering resources separated from manufacturing facilities. Makes it very difficult to be nimble with changes. Also follow the Swedish mentality of needing consensus which is difficult in a room with lots of Americans.
