Pros

If you are good at networking and talking without actually doing real work, that's where you belong. By the name of reorganisation mangers promote each other while rest of the company tries to figure out what happens. Just look at the profiles and you would know how many people have got so may promotions within few years, while still others are struggling to be on the job. Incompetent and arrogant managers who are somehow either in the friend circles or in yes men/women groups, no prospects to grow in ones career who depends on performance. HRs shamelessly announce layoffs in the session stating performance is not the criteria. Hefty exit offer money is also distributed among business managers who were loving to post nice about the company on linkedin on leaving, while others were given redeployment which they couldn't accept, so either they left without exit money or they are bound to be with the company as no jobs are currently available in the market. Company uses phychological safety as one of its value but in reality uses the same to make employees feel vulnerable so they leave by themselves.

Cons

Please come out of your ignorance and arrogance. If you feel something can be applied on others, at least think it for yourself before implementing.

Pros

Used to be a place filled with passionate, skilled people. Sadly, most of them have already left.

Cons

H&M Group suffers from a massive and growing tech debt that leadership continues to ignore. Most of the truly competent engineers and product professionals have long since quit. What remains is a toxic environment with high turnover, constant reorgs, and offshoring to low-cost labor with little support or development. HR has lost all credibility – pushing for full return to office while ignoring the real issues affecting teams. The workplace culture is rotten: political, cliquish, and increasingly hostile to anyone who questions leadership decisions. It’s not a psychologically safe environment – critics are marginalized, and mobbing or gaslighting tactics are not uncommon. Management focuses more on performative inclusivity (rainbow flags everywhere) than on building a healthy or respectful work culture. Meanwhile, senior leadership turnover is accelerating, with the former CEO quietly exiting amid internal drama. Employees are routinely forced to reapply for their own jobs during restructurings, while morale continues to plummet. Avoid unless you're desperate – and even then, think twice!
