Pros

Overall, it is a very person and family friendly company. - Great benefits, better than average - Good work life balance - Corporate culture is better than average. Additionally: - Opportunities to work internationally, fun to work with people in other countries. - Interesting technology - Many markets / customers supported.

Cons

Major drawbacks: - Lower than average salaries - A big difference in the way emplyees in Europe and employees in US are treated and compensated. A lot of this is due to the unions and work rules in Europe. - Can be frustrating to work with European team members for the same reason, lots of time off and work rules. - Volvo IT in North America has outgrown the ability of the NA management team to run it in a good way. Especially dealing with the overall (global) company stategy and NA place in it. - Unclear corporate vision - Slow to make decisions and implement them

Pros

Great place if you are a technically minded person. Challenges abound so you most likely will not get bored here. Use some of the newest engineering design and testing technologies.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to tell where the company is headed, especially in these times. The truck market is very cyclical, so you can expect business to be up and down.
