Pros

Great Benefits Strong Consistent Business Performance Good Training Opportunities

Cons

Limited Career Advancement once you reach mid-management Very Political Environment; A few "Chosen Ones" get put on the Fast Track Who you know and Who is fighting for you are more important then overall job performance Work / Life Balance seems to be deteriorating quickly Culture and Values have drastically changed over that last few years for the worse

Pros

Flexible Hours, Half Decent Pay, Some good people still left in the company

Cons

Gradually reducing employee rewards and benefits, the You Can Make a Difference Program is a Joke. HR is invisible (high turnover), Moving jobs overseas to very underqualified people. Lots of managerial infighting. Loosing its values "best place to work" is now "a place to work". Very political. Used to be awesome but now it's not, the place is becoming like a government job without the security. Small cubes, small work space, like rats in a wheel.

Pros

In the past, the company has been very good at move people around - both as long term expats and also on short term assignments (6 months). The company organized lots of trainings which obviously was very valued by all staff. Great people to work with - fantastic atmosphere at the office.

Cons

Not competitive salaries (in Sweden). Too focused on cutting costs.
