Pros

Unlimited supply of food, drinks, snacks free healthcare work/life balance great social events cool and diverse group of co-workers

Cons

Management focuses on the wrong things. More concerned about people "quotas" then if the actual work is getting done. Hiring is based on these "quotas" rather then just hiring the right person for the job. I'm all about diversity, but when a position that is desperately needed isn't getting filled because the right sex or ethnicity isn't applying and you have a stack of qualified individuals that have applied that's a problem. Not enough room for advancement for those that aren't in Stockholm They sell you this dream that you can do any projects you want and there's a lot of freedom. That all depends on your team. Definitely the opposite for me. Felt stifled. People that have no knowledge about technology are leading technology teams.

Pros

Great benefits and quality of life

Cons

Easy to get lost in the size of the company. Always a "what if" after large layoffs.
